The Bulls have been listed in reports as one of the teams with serious interest in Suns forward Amar'e Stoudemire, but the Chicago Tribune doesn't see a fit.

K.C. Johnson writes that last season the Bulls had "reservations over acquiring Stoudemire, who will seek a maximum contract at a time questions remain about his defensive play and recovery from microfracture surgery on his knee."

Chicago could have very well acquired Stoudemire last season, and assured themselves of having him for at least 1 1/2 seasons, but they opted against it.

The club will certainly entertain the idea, but Johnson points out that the Bulls aren't likely a "serious" suitor.
