John Paxson has done a lot of studying in his first two weeks as the Bulls' operations chief, but there's one move he didn't need much time to consider.
Paxson would like to get Michael Jordan back to the Bulls in some capacity.
"I would leave that open for him anytime," said Paxson, who has played phone tag with Jordan since succeeding Jerry Krause on April 14. "I think Jerry [Reinsdorf] would, too. I hope someday that does happen."
