Vinny translates to Rose?
The Chicago Bulls decided last week to make their head coach a first time coach. Vinny Del Negro was given the head coaching spot my general manager John Paxson. Since Negro retired from his playing days in 2002 he has held positions in the front office with the Pheonix Suns under Paxson’s good friend Steve Kerr.
Negro played for several teams during his 14 year NBA career. Negro was drafted by the Kings in 1988 and retired as a Sun in 2002. He also spent two years from 1990-92 playing in Europe. Negro was a point gaurd/shooting gaurd during is playing career.

Dirk Nowitzki is the NBA’s best ‘elbow man’ and Carlos Boozer and David West are two other greats. The Bulls already have several forwards. If the Bulls do go with Beasley, there are some moves that could be made. (more…)
