There is growing speculation that the Bulls are leaning towards drafting forward Michael Beasley, which might force them to ship either Tyrus Thomas or Drew Gooden out of town, according to The Chicago Tribune.

A source told the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, citing familiar dealings with the teams, that the Bulls plan to draft Beasley while the Miami Heat will take Derrick Rose.

"No. 1 and No. 2 are booked and done," the Sun-Sentinel's source said.

"I know we're loaded in the backcourt, but true point guards like Rose ... I can make the argument that position is the most difficult position to fill consistently," General Manager John Paxson said of the two. "And Beasley is just a true scorer who does it so easily. They're two sides of the spectrum. We'll be able to look at which way to go."

Adding a player like Beasley, who is thought of as 'NBA-ready', wouldn't leave much time for the likes of Gooden and Thomas in the paint.
