Roman Modrowski of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that the Bulls are talking to Danny Manning. Bulls operations chief Jerry Krause said he was looking for a veteran inside presence to help mentor Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry, and the 14-year vet Manning would seem to be a good fit.

''One of the main reasons we're bringing some guys in for visits is to conduct physicals, because a lot of the guys we're looking at are far along in their careers,'' said Krause, who wouldn't confirm Manning's visit. ''But as far as visits, a lot of the guys we're looking at already know us.''

The Bulls have also reportedly talked to Matt Harpring's agent and are discussing bringing in Washington's Popeye Jones, Denver's Scott Williams and Houston's Kevin Willis. The Lakers Devean George is also a reported target of the Bulls.

The Orlando Sentinel reported the Bulls and Magic have discussed a trade involving Mike Miller, but Krause apparently doesn't want to part with Jamal Crawford. Marcus Fizer also has been discussed in trade talks.
