The Bulls need roster upgrades if they hire D’Antoni

Apparently Mike D’Antoni is interested in the Bulls coaching job.  I assume it’s because D’Antoni sees the athleticism on the Bulls necessary to run his seven seconds or less coaching style effectively.  With how Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah played well together toward the end of the season, I can see the potential there to run the fast paced D’Antoni offense.  I’m sure Ben Gordon would also thrive in the Phoenix Suns system.  However, the Bulls are missing the key ingrident for this exciting style of play and its an effective point guard.  DO NOT sell me on Captain Kirk or Ben Gordon as capable of filling these roles, they  just don’t have the skills (Hinrich) or the desire to pass first (Gordon).  As someone who has re-introduced themselves to the NBA this year, D’Antoni would be an exciting hire for the Bulls but they have to make the roster adjustments to make such a marriage work.  Obviously, first they need to fix the point guard situation.  Luckily, the NBA draft this year has a few solid lottery choices.  Derrick Rose is ideal, but it looks like Pat Riley may even pass on Marcus Beasley to snag the Memphis kid number 1.  The Bulls should expect a low lottery pick this year and to nab a PG like DJ Augustin from Texas or Jerred Bayless from Arizona would seem possible with a draft day trade up to the 7th or 8th pick (all very speculative without the draft order set yet).  But this will require the type of draft day aggressiveness that John Paxson has yet to show.  With the debacle over the Ben Gordon and Luol Deng contracts last summer one of the two has to go, if D’Antoni becomes the coach it seems obvious to me that Luol won’t fit, he is just too slow and a better half court offensive presence.   As a fan,  watching a D’Antoni coached team would be awesome, but only if Paxson is willing to make the hard decisions necessary to make this work.  This would be a 2-3 year solution where the Celtics and Pistons would be washed up and the Bulls perfectly positioned to ascend to the elite of the Eastern Conference where they take their yearly shot at dethroning King James.
