Rumors of a deal that would send Zach Randolph to Chicago have reportedly accelerated.

The Bulls have been without a low-post scorer since they traded Eddy Curry to the Knicks.

Portland appears open but reluctant to deal Randolph.

Chicago might instead make a run at Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who has been platooning with Kenny Thomas in Sacramento.
