Brian Scalabrine is "in line" to join Tom Thibodeau's staff as an assistant coach for the Bulls, two sources tell CSN Chicago.

Scalabrine had said earlier in August that he was still hoping to play, but he's received no interest in the NBA and is a natural fit to join the coaching ranks. As CSN Chicago writes, the "White Mamba" appears set to return to Chicago in a different role.

Brian Scalabrine will not return to the Bulls this season, according to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune.

Scalabrine is always a fan favorite and would like to continue his run in the NBA, but it remains to be seen if there's a team willing to sign him. Chicago is interested in FA Joel Przybilla, but for now the only centers on the roster are Joakim Noah, who missed the Olympics with a severely sprained ankle, and journeyman Nazr Mohammed.

Brian Scalabrine - F/C - Bulls

Brian Scalabrine hopes to continue playing in the NBA for as long as possible, after which he may pursue coaching or announcing.

"I’ll play in the NBA as long as I can," said Scalabrine. "I’ll get cut one day. That’s just the only way I can really go. To just retire would be like quitting to me. They’ll have to kick me out." There's a reason the guys is a fan favorite everywhere he goes, but the 34-year-old's useful playing days are rapidly coming to an end.

Brian Scalabrine has officially parted ways with the Italian team Benetton Treviso.

The "White Mamba" was popular with the team, but it appears he'll seek employment in the NBA for 2011-12. While he'll probably find a roster spot, he's not going to offer fantasy value.

Brian Scalabrine is enjoying his time with the Italian team Benetton Treviso, and he has no immediate plans to return to the NBA.

Scalabrine said he's taking it "day-by-day" but sounds like he could be in Italy for a while -- he's playing a big role in Italy but would barely crack an NBA rotation.

Brian Scalabrine - F/C - Bulls

Brian Scalabrine has signed with Italian team Benetton Treviso.

Everybody's favorite 12th man has every reason to both make money and keep his game sharp with the lockout looming. There's no word if the deal includes an NBA 'out-clause,' but we wouldn't bank on it. Even if he stays a year, we can't completely rule him out for a return to the NBA.

Brian Scalabrine - F/C - Bulls

According to Davide Chinellato, a journalist for the Italian publication Gazzetta della Sport, Brian Scalabrine is trying out with the Italian team Treviso and will have a couple of weeks to make the roster.

Scalabrine hinted in July that he'd explore his European options, and now he's doing exactly that. He's certainly not a lock to make the roster, and if he's cut by the team, his chances of ever gracing an NBA roster may very well be slim to none.

Brian Scalabrine said recently that he will play in Europe if the lockout negotiations don't improve in two weeks.

"With two years or so left of playing basketball, I'm not interested in watching billionaires fight," said Scalabrine. Players have to commit to at least a year overseas, meaning they can't opt out and join the NBA whenever the lockout ends.

Brian Scalabrine - F/C - Bulls

Brian Scalabrine scored 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting (2-of-3 from downtown) with one rebound, four assists, and a steal in 31 minutes off the bench on Wednesday.

It would take a few different injuries for 'Scal' to matter in fantasy leagues, but he looks like a good veteran pickup by Tom Thibodeau, who used to coach him in Boston.

Brian Scalabrine - F/C - Bulls

Free agent big man Brian Scalabrine has agreed to a non-guaranteed deal with the Bulls.

Scalabrine is a "good bet" to make the team and his relationship with coach Tom Thibodeau doesn't hurt his chances. His energy off the bench is sure to quickly endear him to fans in Chicago but fantasy owners should obviously avoid him on draft day.

Brian Scalabrine - F/C - Bulls

The Bulls might be interested in signing free agent big man Brian Scalabrine.

New Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau had a good relationship with Scal in Boston, fueling speculation that they'll reunite. It's unlikely to happen if Chicago gets Rudy Fernandez, and in any case "The job, for now unless it’s Fernandez, is a 12th or 13th man who might play a day a week."
