Phil has already said he's not coming back to Chicago and Jerry doesn't want to pay for a high-priced coach since they're still paying Scott Skiles. I'd love for Scott to be the Bulls coach though. As for LeBron, I'll believe it when I see it July 8th-9th
If LeBron goes to the Bulls and Chicagos willing to pay Phil more than LA(5mill), i wouldnt count it out at all. Maybe Lebron demands it? Who knows but its a possibility, especially if LA loses against the Celtics.
I think that reinsdorf doesn't want to pay for someone that he doesn't feel like is worth the money. That's why he won't hire a middle class coach. However for an all time great I think he'll pay the money because he'll get his moneys worth.
