Chicago native Antoine Walker always looks forward to coming coming to play the Bulls as it gives the Hawks forward a chance to meet up with family and friends, and with the high scoring forward set to become a free agent this offseason with Walker in town talk quickly turned to the possibility of him wearing Bulls red in 2005-06.

Even though the Bulls have only the mid-level exception to play with, according to Mike McGraw of the Daily Herlad the team will consider making a pitch for Walker.

Walker is a proven scorer who could conceivably step in at power forward for Antonio Davis. For his career, the 6-foot-9 forward averages 19.9 points and 8.7 rebounds, but he shoots just 41.4 percent from the field.

"Every team's on my mind," said Walker, who attended Mt. Carmel High School. "I definitely think I'm going to consider playing (for Atlanta) again. But right now, I'm wide open. I'm trying to stay healthy, show people I can play. Then sit back and wait. Hopefully, they (the Bulls) make a bid for me."
