LeBron James and Joakim Noah.Jason Lloyd of Ohio.com writes that the Chicago Bulls could become the team LeBron James signs with this summer. Lloyd bases this on several factors, one being the Bulls were LeBron's favorite growing up and that Michael Jordan is his favorite player.
Also, LeBron was giddy when talking about the Bulls after the Cleveland Cavaliers eliminated them in the playoffs.
''I love Derrick Rose,'' James said. ''The sky is the limit for him. No point guard in the league has the athleticism he has and the speed and quickness he has. Chicago has a good one. He's a hometown kid and he's great.''
The Bulls have enough cap space and plenty of other pieces to lure someone like James. But they also have a new young coach (Tom Thibodeau) James would have to consider.
Thibodeau's background parallels that of Mike Brown before Brown got the Cavs' job five years ago. Like Brown was then, Thibodeau is the ''hot'' assistant this season on one of the best teams in the league. Thibodeau is known as a defensive specialist with limited offensive experience — just like Brown.
