http://myurl.com.tw/c5gj Bulls pique Kukoc's interest, vice versa By Marlen Garcia Tribune staff reporter July 21, 2005, 9:50 PM CDT Playing for the Bulls next season appeals to Toni Kukoc, and the Bulls are interested in him, Kukoc's agent said Thursday. "The Bulls are certainly a team he would be interested in coming back to, without question," agent Herb Rudoy said. Kukoc, who began his NBA career with the Bulls in 1993, is a free agent after playing the last three seasons for the Bucks. He is not expected to return to Milwaukee, which extended a substantial offer to the Clippers' Bobby Simmons and will re-sign guard Michael Redd. Rudoy said the Bulls are among several teams who have called to discuss Kukoc, 36. Kukoc was a teammate of Bulls general manager John Paxson in 1993-94 and helped the Bulls win three straight NBA championships from 1996 to 1998. "There's definitely interest on their part," Rudoy said. A potential glitch in the Bulls' pursuit of Kukoc is the time and money they will spend to bring back restricted free agents Eddy Curry, Tyson Chandler, Chris Duhon and Jannero Pargo. "They have to do the other things first," Rudoy said. "They can't make a commitment until they see how much money they have left. They've always had the interest. It's whether they have the ability to do it once they get their free-agent signings." Kukoc was not available for comment because he is visiting his native Croatia. His permanent residence is in Highland Park, adding to the appeal of playing for the Bulls.
