Vinny Del Negro fired: Press conference Tuesday

Finally*, it's happening:
The Bulls have called a noon Tuesday news conference, at which time sources said they will announce the dismissal of coach Vinny Del Negro with one season and roughly $2 million remaining on his guaranteed three-year contract.
OK, so: one offseason checkmark done.
I've yet to see any mention of other front office changes, outside of Mike McGraw's vague mention of Paxson futher distancing himself from responsibilities into 'a consultant role'.
I hope it's cleared up at this press conference who is actually in charge of looking for the new coach and (far more importantly) spearheading the effort for free agents. Assuming the amalgam of Gar Paxdorf still exists, it matters whether Paxson is the instigator, the decider, or indeed just the consultant. If not for the courtesy of fan perception, at least look to be in order for the coaching and free agent candidates. That's if Pax shows up to the thing, who knows.
*(I'm exaggerating, it could've been longer and much worse. A bit of reactionary built-up sympathy for VDN, but not too much.)

Still no love for my guy Laimbeer..
I will give it up when they hire another crappy re-tread…
Of the re-treads…I have always like Musselman…and obviously Phil Jackson.
Thomas, Miller, Salmons, James, Pargo, Gray, MLE, and (there is no LLE thanks to the Pargo signing) will not be here with a Max Free Agent...don't get too attached.
Yeah, the T-Wolves should've hired Laimbeer
Over freaking Kurt Rambis — who I say is ten times worse than Vinny. I mean, at the very least Laimbeer would play Kevin Love more than 28 minute a game, and not off the bench. Rambis is a fucking moron, and I really think some team is going to find a steal in Lamb. He’s crafty.
I’ve always thought Musselman got a bad rap, too. He somehow squeezed almost 40 wins out of Golden State teams composed of a bunch of inefficient jump shooters who couldn’t play defense… and Erick Dampier. I mean, he won MORE games after GS lost Arenas and Jamison.

Does anyone know what this tweet is referring to?:

Chicago management now using local mouthpiece to write that only because of Paxson’s “intervention” did Derrick Rose “flourish.” Incredible.
This guy seems to really dislike the Bulls, not that they’re easy to love though.

Woj is a very angry man
He’s been shitting on Pat Riley all day today too. And he had a big piece on Pritchard and how much of a douche he thought he was. Guy hates everyone.

Riley didn't force SVG out.....Shaq did
I’m surprised that didn’t become obvious once SVG and Shaq got into their tussle through the media last year. When Shaq came to Miami, he said he wanted to play for Pat Riley.
B/c they came within a game (and a DWade injury) of reaching the finals in his first year with the Heat, you didn’t hear a peep. Maybe SVG really did have family problems, but it was Shaq who forced SVG out, not Riley.
Now that DWade is a free agent, if he and free agent X say (behind closed doors of course) I’ll only play for the Heat if Riley coaches the team, what would you do if your Riley?

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nba/news/story?id=5159051
It was during that series in which news first surfaced publicly that executive vice president of basketball operations John Paxson had a heated confrontation with Del Negro on March 30 over the playing time of center Joakim Noah, then recovering from a foot injury. The argument resulted in Paxson pushing Del Negro away, according to sources, after Del Negro got too close to Paxson.
Team sources also said Del Negro had come around the desk of Forman in a threatening manner during a heated discussion earlier in the season. Del Negro denied both accounts but it was clear that a shaky relationship with management had become irreparable.
…
At the same time, there were those who said it was only because of Paxson’s intervention that Rose was able to flourish after being held out of critical parts of the game by Del Negro. And whispers came from Bulls’ players who were less than impressed with Del Negro’s leadership and coaching ability, and did not speak out emphatically in his defense in the last days of the season.
So that’s the spin. I actually do believe the one about players not being impressed with VDN.

WHAT?!
[T]here were those who said it was only because of Paxson’s intervention that Rose was able to flourish…
Did ANYBODY say this? Pax has as much to do with Rose flourishing as I did.
You probably had more influence.
I know I did by attending 20+ games in the past two seasons, plus two playoff games, plus a new jersey. What the fuck did Paxson contribute?

People were mad about it, but it was also like a 3 game experiment
To read the revisionist history, it makes it sound as if Vinny was barely playing Derrick.
Both paxson and vinny need to be fired
The way they handle playing players and developing players such as rose, noah, tyrus thomas and giving too much playing time to hinrich and not trading him and giving deng this big and long contract, that’s management fault, you can’t blame everything on vinny. The bulls management said they would be checking out coaches, that was in december when they first wanted to fire vinny, so my question is who is the new coach? The bulls should have one by now
Has anyone seen the movie the comebacks?
I see the plot of the movie written all over our current situation…
Gar or Pax or JR: Hi! We are starting a new era in our franchise. We want you as a coach.
Future Bulls Coach: What does your team play?
Gar or Pax or JR: Basketball.
Future Bulls Coach: I’m a tennis coach.
Gar or Pax or JR: We don’t care.
Future Bulls Coach: Ok. where do I sign?
You mean...
The best record of all of the coaches since Phil has left…
Wow!

Byron Scott sucks, and was fired from the Nets/Hornets for a reason
The guy was made Collison and Thornton sit on the bench for… Devin and Bobby Brown? He’s not as bad as VDN — obviously — but he has no clue how to construct a decent rotation and has Larry Brown syndrome when it comes to playing young guys. Scott has built his reputation on having extremely talented players to underachieve with. I mean, anybody could win 50 games with those Nets teams he had, or with a healthy Chris Paul.

i think vinny couldve been the worst coach in nba history
but because he was a nice guy rose wanted him to stay, in fact this entire roster is filled with nice guys, and i believe vinny was at the minimum a nice guy…
So even if rose came out and said i would like to have vinny stay, i dont think he really cares if vinny left….
put it this way, if rose had to choose between winning and vinny, no matter what his affections for vinny may be, i believe (and would be dissapointed if he didnt) he would pick winning…
I dont care what the D.N.A. Says, the Guy wearing number 12 Cannot be Kirk Hinrich, he is definetly Kurt. Kirk can actually play basketball!

My offseason wishes:

Also, I wouldn’t mind the Bulls drafting Tiny Gallon in the 2nd round if they acquire a 2nd round pick. The Bulls need some muscle.
Great, now fire John Paxson and we're going somewhere.
"Boozer's dumb ass jumped. So I dunked on his ass."-Joakim Noah
McHale might be an interesting choice
McHale had a nice run last year with the T’wolves, so he has “experience”. He relates well to players and has a great basketball pedigree, if not a great general managerial pedigree. Byron Scott has a rep as a laissez faire approach to practice, which if even a hint of that is true will mean that Paxson will not hire him. Avery Johnson is a control freak – always calling plays that will surely stunt the things the bulls do well. Same with JVG – he’s shown no inclination historically to push the ball, though he is a good basketball mind who should understand the Bulls’ strengths. Lawrence Frank’s reputation is shredded after the horrific run with NJ. Musselman is like Skiles without any of the success. Doug hasn’t coached a meaningful playoff series in twenty years and burns out quickly. I’d actually be interested in Calipari given his connection to Wes Wesley and Wes’ connections around the league.
Ultimately, I think McHale still remains the most interesting choice available.
in my opinion this hire should be about who would draw FAs better
hiring someone who has a good history with players, isnt a ass and makes bball fun. Byron Scott prolly fits that.
yes, let's hire the coach who doesn't like to start his best player. (love)

I heard Mr. Cooper is in town, so maybe they already started turning over stones in their quest for the world’s best coach.

they both can’t lose.

i'm definitely rooting for the celtics in this series
anything to shut up cavs fans…
since i like the magic and hawks i will just root for the winner of that series (which i assume will be orlando) to beat the winner of the celts/cavs.

Forman will play a prominent role in that search as part of the second phase of Paxson’s transition into more of a consultant role, according to sources. That process began in May 2009 with Forman’s promotion to general manager. Paxson will still hold a major voice in the organization.

VDN
I cant believe this forum is excited about the firing of VDN. you people honestly do not have a clue about basketball. Vinny took one of the least talendted teams. A team that has no two gaurd, no power forward, nothing of a bench, a power forward who is a rookie etc etc and took them to the playoffs. You all know if it was any other team we would have atleast won three and who knows get into the second round. The bulls did not lose to the cavs because of vinny. we lost cause that bitch paxson built a team of overpayed underachieving players.
Which coach out there will do any better with this team? i really am waiting to see cause the bulls are going to overpay a second tier player for the max just like we did with wallace. what has avery, vangundy, dantoni etc done. nothing. God wtf ?
Bulls NBA Contenders By 2010
Well . . .
Avery, Van Gundy and D’Antoni have a combined record of 952-663 for a winning percentage of .590
That sure looks great to me!
Oh, and if you’re looking for someone available with a championship ring, there aren’t any.
Is it all Paxsons fault really isn’t JR always being as conservative as possible.
Hopefully VDN improves but right now he is even still in development. Vinny still only has two years of ever coaching.Last year he was just plain horrible I still think we underachieved for that season. In the playoffs I’m still confident we lost because of bad coaching.
The end of this year he did well I thought. I’m still not sure what exactly Vinnys style is…or what identity he gives a team.

Go Kevin! Go Kevin!
The Bulls are hoping to move quickly on hiring a new coach. The short list of candidates includes Kevin McHale, Lawrence Frank, Maurice Cheeks and Jeff Van Gundy. Some others who could get an interview are former Toronto coach Sam Mitchell and Boston Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau.
Some notable coaches not currently under consideration are Collins, Avery Johnson and Byron Scott.
This list is terrible
Van gundy is the only one that is decent, but i don’t think he wants to coach the bulls because of management, the rest of this list is garbage.
I can't disagree.
I’m all for Kevin Mchale. He’s won titles. He’s a big man coach for Noah he’d fit in well here I believe.
McHale's a shit GM
But he’s actually a pretty good coach. He took that crap bucket of a T-Wolves team and actually won some midseason games with them back in ‘09. Well, until Jefferson got hurt, but you can’t really blame him for losing when he was forced to start Sebastian Telfair and Ryan Gomes.

McHale would be perfect
He actually did a great job when he took over as coach of Minnesota before Jefferson got hurt. He’s got a lot of respect in the NBA ranks and has one of the highest basketball IQs out there. With that said, we’ll probably end up with Mike Dunleavy.
Help me out here.....what makes Kevin McHale a desirable coach?
The Wolves were still bad with him as coach (even in the games that Al Jefferson played). Why is he all of a sudden getting praise to become this team’s coach?

Mike brown sucks
if it wasn’t for lebron, he would be one of the worst coaches in the nba

Lebron or no Lebron he is one of the worst
Actually he may become the guy who didn’t won despite having Lebron.
Go Celtics, Magic or whatever!

This is the first signal that the planets are finally aligning
By the end of the first week of July I expect the Bulls to have:
- The best coach available (Van Gundy and Scott are my favorites, since I don’t believe Phil Jackson will come back)
- A top FA signed (I’m praying for Chris Bosh, since almost everyone is saying that Wade and LeBron won’t leave their teams)
- Xavier Henry or James Anderson drafted
Jannero Pargo = Larry Hughes 2.0
I dont think we're going to be drafting high enough to get either of those guys.
Both are said to be top 10 picks.

Actually most mock drafts have the Bulls taking him
