" It's annoying really shows on Sports Radio 67 scoreless largely on star hotline will welcome then. Mike -- the great TNT analyst and former coach of course basketball royalty is bizarre of the tell straighter. See in my tonight. As TNT sticks around for another game their entire article for the Bulls to beating beat Detroit Pistons on Tuesday we get to see that great broadcast again tonight. With a Reggie Miller Marv Albert might Patel is TNT tips it off at 7 o'clock at the United Center when the Bulls bring in. And host the Miami Heat might carry Dillon. Doing great thank you thank shut me out. Well it's always a pleasure and covering the Chicago Bulls as I do admire other gig for the Chicago sun times it's. And uninteresting team -- interest in season and unfortunately we've or did -- still -- with the the Bulls last couple -- been through a couple coaches including. Your body might tell Jim Boylan but Vinny del -- comes into this situation as the bulls' third choice widely. -- that Mike -- Tony was you have a couple interviews with Jerry Reinsdorf and it didn't work out then Doug Collins. Thought he's going to get the job and Jerry was reticent on Aaron Beasley thought he might have to fire against a -- divinity untested coach. Never coached any level in a month ago we are taken calls Mike's saying this guy he's got a golf. He's not a guy for the job and here we are now talk about seven seed and certainly he's going to be back. As a coach looking with the job but he's done -- the injuries and trying to develop Derrick Rose what what impresses you about Vinny del negro."

" Got it about -- in the beginning ordinary he was first given the head job. All that he was quick to say look I don't have all the answers right now there's going to be some on the job. Learning from me. And they are all put as much time and effort. As I need to. And try to go to as many sources like Chandler had been BA experience in the coaching standpoint. And kind of like build up my. My library of knowledge going into this thing and then was never hesitant. Just sore arm yourself with two veteran guys in Burney picked Pacific -- Harris who. Really -- covered the gamut from assistant coaches in the NBA head coaches in the NBA stuff from office responsibilities in the NBA. One of them. Has little more of the deep sense of responsibilities get a couple more of the offensive responsibilities. They all sit down with any input you know preparing for each game being has final say over what they gonna do what that is going to approach it but. They -- there afford -- you know support system as you've gone through this early part they've been there is some of the tough times and it would give. It jump actually credit for making the movie you know as the season went on and then things -- not. Gnashing of blending and it was it was not a balanced roster. Well he makes the move as suddenly which happens and what I saw it and they'll last game against Detroit -- the teams kind of settled that a little bit. People look at some veteran guys warns John Salmons who didn't. Create off the dribble who put big numbers on the borders or -- professional -- basketball IQ and then Brad Mills who can recount. He can pass the -- another basketball IQ guy another veteran guys professionalism if it's allowed -- Tyrus Thomas to settle in. He's matured as a player he's see and understand what -- what. Basketball TN BA levels all that she's not athletic specimen outfit now there's things that he does with a purpose in mind you see -- slow the blossoming. It got Hinrich who was out book. A good portion of the season returning it. Sure he's more than capable back up to Rose but. Well given his opportunity the last game is point four points and it is just one Rose sat out with a knee injury. You've seen the development of -- young rookie Derrick Rose. Who good reviews are probably right Nixon with the beginning to be able -- wasn't ready at that point because of injuries so all of this is going to fall in place in city they'll make who has ever. Pretty good job of stating the ship your British rough times and now during this push. He's doing what he has to do with three guys almost 46 minutes apiece in their last game and know what you fight for a playoff spot you're fighting realized. That's what you do you play to -- what you think I would help you win games down church."

" He's my patella TNT analyst -- CD out. Broadcast tonight when Miami takes on (%expletive) that the united -- clock on TNT Marv Albert on the call Mike for told Reggie Miller. Give me the color analyst and Mike when you look at this thing you mentioned the trainer John Salmons Brad Miller and it was -- only sports do you get that kind of a deal out of nowhere known -- talking about we're all wonder who's going to win the Amare Stoudamire sweepstakes. Well look like he had more than one foot out the door in Phoenix. -- things turn out that deal doesn't get made because the at the Suns don't want to trade him and then shortly after the deadline he comes up with the -- injury. And ends his season and meanwhile John Salmons steps right in and fills a void for awhile thing it's. It not you have some depth as you said that the team seems to know it's roles in the rotation has been settled where that has been a formal process did stints in doing. The any clear before that trade."

" What what what what State's right to vote for it next a tough decision. That Vinny -- may grow and the organization is I have to make is. When love thing comes back. Hoosiers -- but yeah it's not any idiot just because you know now he's doing some fear if you pushing back into the true guard spot you put. Very important back on the bench again you know all these questions come up you that they come off the bench. -- It's it's a nice problem to have the death. But at the same time. Oh look what the problem created in Detroit it basically took that team that would just extreme Eastern Conference finals and made him a mediocre 500 -- Because you have a lot of guys spent fetish it. And you know it what was solution going to be Iverson go to the bench Hamilton put the bench what they elected to put out of the on the bench and it was almost. I instead of a flourishing the team struggled even further they went from being 567 games over 500 mark. Now that you games below 500 mark. They've played their best ball AF drivers who now soared 1415 games built for them. Fort Hamilton was reasserted -- and balances in chemistry sort of say. How are delicate ones but most importantly once."

" No doubt about it know the Bulls have some questions in the offseason upcoming. Will Ben Gordon resigning turned out big money not once but twice now the economy has turned. He could end up settling for the midlevel exception of his sticks around here which is even less and they six point four million dollar qualifying offer he ended up with last year they said he wouldn't sign. It's very is staying what guys expect to be paid and I -- John Paxson and and talking to him felt like he was rewarding -- And Ben Gordon for help getting this organization back up on its -- getting him into the playoffs is a core group. And yet there agents told -- try again that's not enough money and I think Ben -- and -- no quarter here as much as team wants to have him here. As much as you might want to remain here. Very few teams have salary cap room. The ones that do don't want to spend it on sixteen shooting guard and now the Bulls might I have money -- any money left in the bank without getting going into luxury tax territory."

" But some very very difficult positions at the end of the year. For a number of people who -- Ben Gordon but being one of them you know what but he's awesome out that you wouldn't mix too. With David Lee what does Detroit do what Allen Iverson what does anyone else do with Allen Iverson how much would you take him. The common cure organization and he has -- sign him for. If you all want to beat quote. Superstar free agents as of 2010. Do you wait to see with the new collective bargaining agreement is going to be it could be lower. That you think it's going to be what you sign early at the end of this season with a team that you with the right now. Who can give you the most and is still under the old collective bargaining agreement with the numbers may be higher. They're the future numbers so all of that plays into effect for these guys that got some. -- know Duke players have some tough decisions to make with the teams have to. Because you also managing. The economy right now remember there were what fifteen teams have borrowed some money from believe he'll be able to handle as financial crisis."

" Yeah and no doubt if -- Toronto do you go ahead trade Chris Bosh this offseason. And not deal with the 30 free agency and and then if comic can resign and did put them on the open market and get what you can't form and try to. Two on you'll get a team to overpay him such as the Chicago Bulls does that seem would be seemingly beat. The missing piece for a team that wants to take that next step. And Mike let's talk about again my patella -- your Mully and Hanley show. If the immediate right here we're looking at the eighth seed Chicago Bulls a game behind the Detroit Pistons for the seventh seed and you have. The Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron -- near the face of the year the eighth seed. Glad that try to be up a Boston and also Orlando basically tied for the second seed although Orlando has couple games in hand but tied in the loss column. Or when it's not a good match have been you know as a coach it's all about match ups in my -- wanted a piece of Cleveland I want peace of Boston. But for the Bulls it seems like Dwight Howard would be even more of a bugaboo possible that if he had match up against him in the playoffs."

" What are unsure right now if if we can get inside and Vinny -- make goes head in his heart. Look at the last thing UW word that is cool I matched up against what you want us to do is. Guarantee the fact that they gonna make it in there. The way people sliding in the standings right now. There's they'll tell all the way you could wind up being in the next 45 games when you look at you know the fact -- Detroit is. They made that the Lakers come up next. Three of their next four games to finish out the month of march against playoff teams. So they not have a --"

" Get Theriot lost seven of ten because you know the injuries and everything else going out wrong form."

" He and that you got the couple teams like Charlotte Milwaukee New Jersey right behind the also. If the Bulls were the stumbled Detroit quarters stumble and Charlotte gets subtle little streak here or Milwaukee Jersey finish out strong. It divisional so what can happen so I. I'm not sure you want to -- both of your power team. And you wondered if you want to fool round pick it chanting gamble on won't drop one here so we 41 spot and we've sought out was always on the first round. It feels good luck -- blush if you wanted to go do my best -- that. What if you -- of the bottom teams not yet yeah updating you that you try to hold his spot or move up -- the standings. Field best you can do is get home court advantage obviously in the first draft I'm not sure that's going to happen that the Bulls really catch Atlanta. Put that fourth spot right now there's not enough games left remaining but. The last seen that a word that is not bashing got -- put up with. Cleveland rather than Boston or Boston rather than Orlando Orlando rather quick you know it it there than that you are better at that point."

" My patella joining us and you can see him tonight I'm TNT Wendy. Network broadcasts the Chicago Bulls as they host Miami Heat -- broadcasts being at 7 o'clock. Marv Albert on the call Reggie Miller Mike -- sitting alongside giving all the great insight. That they do on the broadcasts and blessing for Mike Derrick Rose who mentioned a little bit earlier his injury. Might not go to night what we'll have to wait and see how beyond the wrist injuries responded. But as a coach when you're trying to develop the young star and and by all counts every coach I've talked to a lot of the players and GM's -- marvel at. What this kid's been able to do now is the number one overall pick in the draft it's not shocking. But people saying look he's got power and explosiveness even his jump -- third I thought it was going to be. How do you how do you balance -- developing the young guy and yet also trying to win games -- get into the playoffs. Because that's really what the whole exercise is all about and so how do you keep I keep everyone happy Kirk Hinrich has done a wonderful job being the consummate pro. As a captain the team make a big money is starting guard but now Derek on the scene and -- and -- access to take a -- back up but is responded in just. Great professional manner by not making a rocking rocking -- off season."

" We know what happened it was a blessing in besides sometimes in this league injuries are questioning the size because it is there. Eliminates won't body that you have to get into the rotation during game two cuts back. On this substitutions that was admitted score for the other guys last night -- basically Chicago played. Greta last game of -- as say Chicago played basically six people and then two other players got five minutes of peace can promise -- those with a bad back. And Lindsey Hunter because you shot a warm his muscles up that is age okay -- a I just fill -- where he could behind it but. In the beginning of the year or what helped I think -- organization and city. They'll make though was effective because of injury Hinrich was already people really compete for the starting job so beautiful Rose put into -- and and you -- have a lot of rookies sort of played the over the years wife played Michael off the bat from the beginning they played significant minutes and you know fortunately they've been good enough. But they help us win games all the way and and a little worried about like you're well how many minutes should I give me the only rookie -- to -- to -- Practicing every day practicing hard practicing the right way giving gold on the court. I'm playing in the games and achieve your best player at that position actually employed because that you Pesci it's a winning basketball games and you don't worry about the fact that you -- this nineteen or twenty year old with just came at a one year of college. So what thats why you picked the number one overall the draft you count on -- to -- to be pretty darn good player he can't make up for experience that'll come as he goes along. But you would you draft -- that he will package talent. And ability as a basketball player to make the right decisions and make the right place and you know Rose got a chance to do -- play a lot of minutes because -- there was that they had a piece things together. Now the violence back you know her kind of suffered the kind of guy that's going to make problems -- waves of the organization he understands. But how about this youngster that you could also play Hinrich and Rose together in the backcourt so it -- might flexibility to have. And the fact that kind of is the kind of guy that the it's about winning basketball games. Just like roses they'll make -- Egypt where we will."

" Mike it's been -- visiting with you look forward to seeing it tonight. At the United Center maybe Craig Sager and take over his tailor today in such a 41 those. Mob sport coats -- and Tony does make -- stop them. Free up he wardrobe so I can spend some time doing that today here in Chicago or maybe just could do it's taken a moving senate."

" You almost sure I can do this Benny the bull stuff that gave -- I bet he got one of the sweepstakes it was going to wears off. I think a -- they are."

" know you to buy off the rack in -- size and particularly but it. All of a pleasure -- out their do you see tonight thanks again TNT tonight 7 o'clock might Patel Marv Albert round Reggie Miller -- Sager and Mike always enjoyed. Thank you. It's -- Sports Radio six over the score."
