Would Denver Nuggets forward Juwan Howard fit in seamlessly in Chicago? Jalen Rose thinks so, according to Roman Modrowski of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Chicago native Juwan Howard is eligible to become a free agent after this season, and the Bulls will be looking for an experienced big man to contribute on the court while helping accelerate the learning process of Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry. That job currently belongs to Corie Blount, who is on a one-year contract and is unlikely to return.

"I'm on the phone with Juwan every day,'' Rose said.
An anonymous Bulls player seems to concur with Rose?s General Manager-like instinct.

"That would be great. It would be a homecoming for him, first and foremost. And we could get a skilled big man who can play and someone to rely on to get low-post scoring.
"Of course, we've talked about it. Are you kidding me? He's receptive, but the NBA business is just that. Just because he and I are talking about it ... there have to be bigger powers than me to get it done.''
