Del Negro has never coached, but he played in the NBA for 12 years, was a radio broadcaster for the Spurs and then for the Suns, and moved to his front-office gig in 2006. The Bulls and Del Negro are expected to make a formal annoucement sometime this week. [Trib, Daily Herald, old picture of Del Negro via the NBA]
