Even though Lindsey Hunter was waived this week, he will remain with the Bulls and his role won't change much.

"[My duties] will be pretty much the same since I've been here," he said. "This is kind of the start of me re-inventing myself the second time. Nothing new."

Hunter will continue to serve as a mentor to Derrick Rose and it's likely that he will start on the path towards becoming a head coach in the near future for some team.

"There's not much I can tell [Derrick] now," he said laughing. "I still share things with him. Always try to keep him encouraged. And to grow into that leadership role that he's become [comfortable with]. Now we have some more young guys that need that type of help. It's just not limited to Derrick. It's everybody who's on this team that I try to help any way I can."
