Despite reports to the contrary, Bulls' GM John Paxson has told the media in Chicago that he is staying, the Chicago Tribune is reporting.

Paxson was the league's most active GM at this year's trade deadline, making three deals, the most significant being the acquisitions of Brad Miller and John Salmons from Sacramento.

"I don't feel an obligation to have to respond every time something comes up about me or a trade, and so I left it alone," Paxson said. "I'm the GM of the Bulls. I'm not resigning. I'm here. I'm going to be here. That puts an end to it."
