Gar Forman became GM of the Chicago Bulls this offseason, but John Paxson still has a very involved role in the front office.

?It?s very similar to how it has always been," said Forman. "John and I have great communication between us and we?re very open. There is a trust level that has been established from working together over the years. We talk a number of times on a daily basis on a number of subjects. We?re working towards the same goals, and that is doing what is best for our team from both the short-term and long-term perspective.?
