Jerry Krause has brought back a few ex-Bulls over the past few years to serve as mentors for his rebuilding team. While Charles Oakley hasn't exactly flourished in that role, former Bull and current Nugget Scott Williams wouldn't mind serving in that capacity next season, reports Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald.
The 34-year-old Williams, who will be a free agent this summer, is on Denver's injured list with a lower back strain. He is healthy enough to play, but the Nuggets want to look at younger players, so Williams likely won't see action the rest of the season.
"This would be an ideal situation if they're thinking about it," said Williams, who plans to play two more years. "I love the city of Chicago. The fans were great to me here when I was just an undrafted rookie trying to scrap for minutes and hustle out there."
Current mentor Charles Oakley wasn't happy about playing for the Bulls this season, but Williams knows his situation is different. Oakley is still trying to earn his first NBA championship, while Williams won three titles with the Bulls from 1991-93.
"Do I want to win? Sure," Williams said. "I was close to getting to the NBA Finals last year with a fun Bucks team. I had a lot of fun up the road. It's important for me to be in a good situation where I'm comfortable, and I certainly would be comfortable here in Chicago."

This season is not even over and already players are starting to jockey for their future destinations. Chicago's Travis Best, brought over from Indiana in the Jalen Rose trade, said he's interested in signing with the Heat as a free agent this summer if Miami doesn't retain Rod Strickland.
''Miami was trying to make a deal with Indiana to get me [last summer], and Indiana wouldn't give me up,'' Best told The Chicago Sun-Times. ``It's definitely an interesting situation and one that I'll look at. They have one of the best coaches in the league in Pat Riley, and they're a team I feel can definitely go somewhere next year, especially if you have somebody come in and help defensively and run the team.''
``It definitely would be a good situation for me. Strickland's been playing well, but I don't know what's going to happen.''
Strickland, while older than Best, has had a better season this year and would most likely come cheaper to the luxury-lax laden Heat. There are also questions over whether Best can be a starting caliber point guard on a good team.
Best and Strickland, along with Jeff McInnis of the Los Angeles Clippers, are considered the best of the unrestricted free agent point guards this off season.
