According to Marc Stein of ESPN.com, the Bulls may be in the mix for David Lee.

But one well-placed insider volunteered this tip when it comes to Lee’s situation: “Keep your eye on Chicago.”

David Lee averaged 16.0 PPG and 11.7 RPG last season. With Lee, you know you’re going to be getting 10+ PPG scoring on a very high efficiency, and double digit rebounding.

When the Bulls were trading with the Knicks in regards to Eddy Curry, they were actually trying to pry Lee away from the Knicks to no avail. So there is probably a lot of legitimacy in the Bulls being interested in Lee.

I think Lee would be a pretty good fit for the Bulls. Rebounding was a problem area for the Bulls last season, and Lee will obviosly fix it. He is a hustle player, and would likely run the court well with Rose.

If the Bulls make a move for Lee, they probably won’t have the cap space to sign a max free agent in 2010, so they would have to leverage their expiring contracts before the trade deadline to significantly improve their talent level of the team.
