<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Just two weeks ago, the Bulls cleared a spot on the roster, and general manager John Paxson said he would use it to bring the team more leadership. Since then, however, the Bulls decided there were more leaders in the locker room than originally thought. Paxson has decided to hold off on adding a 15th player, though it?s still possible veteran swingman Adrian Griffin could be asked to return at some point in the season. ?I?m not going to do something just to do something,? Paxson said. Neither of last year?s primary veteran leaders, Griffin and Antonio Davis, are with the team. Kirk Hinrich, Chris Duhon and Othella Harrington were elected tri-captains just before the regular season began. ?I think it?s working out,? said Luol Deng, the Bulls? youngest player. ?When we showed up at training camp and A.D. wasn?t there, it was like nobody stepped up right away. It took a minute to realize, but a lot of people stepped up. Kirk is talking more, Duhon is talking, Othella. I think they?re the right captains for this team.? Harrington is usually pretty quiet, but he made a conscious effort to increase his input this season. ?A.D., he?s pretty vocal. He spoke out a lot,? Harrington said. ?I just try to speak up when I see things. Whatever the team needs.? Bulls need another hero: Long before designing a final play for Michael Sweetney on Wednesday night, Bulls coach Scott Skiles said he doesn?t want the late-game offense to always fall on Ben Gordon?s shoulders.</div> <div align="center"> Source</div>
