Mark Stein of ESPN.COM reports "Mike D'Antoni's strong interest in coaching the Chicago Bulls emerged last week. Now it's being officially reciprocated.

Sources in both organizations openly expect D'Antoni to wind up in Chicago -- with one Phoenix source going so far as to describe a deal as 'imminent' -- but it's believed that financial complications account for the one obstacle that could derail his move from the desert to the Windy City."
