Jackson met with Donnie Walsh in Phoenix last week.

Mark Jackson, considered the front-runner for the head coaching vacancy with the Knicks, is set to discuss the same job with the Bulls this week, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Bulls general manager John Paxson initially contacted Jackson last week about meeting with him for an interview.
Jackson has maintained that his preference would be to take over the helm of the Knicks, but appears to be keeping his options open.
Paxson has a number of candidates on his list, but will have to wait for several teams to be eliminated from the postseason in order to schedule interviews.

With the Raptors on the verge of being eliminated from the playoffs, there is speculation that GM Bryan Colangelo may make a move, with Head Coach Sam Mitchell possibly becoming a casualty of a poor end to the season, Marc Berman of the New York Post is reporting.
Colangelo has not hired a coach in Toronto, and should D'Antoni be cut loose in Phoenix he may be a target.
Donnie Walsh and the Knicks, meanwhile, would appear to be interested if Mitchell hits the open market. Walsh was poised to interview Mitchell last season while with the Pacers when it appeared that Toronto would not renew his contract.
Mark Jackson, who still appears to be the favorite with the Knicks, is expected to talk to the Bulls Wednesday.
