Please don’t go: Jerry Krause called Jamal Crawford in for a meeting after practice Tuesday, saying he wanted to “clear the air” and reinforce how important it is for Crawford to stay in Chicago next summer and get stronger. Crawford worked out in Seattle last summer.
Krause says Crawford, a big guy at 22,can become a dominant two-position player if he fills out. But he wants Crawford to work with Bulls strength coaches in Chicago to accomplish that.
Oh, hi Dolly: Having sat for the required minimum of five games on the injured list, Dalibor Bagaric said his bruised lower leg is feeling better, and he’s eager to play. “Believe me, I count the games,” he said.
Layups: Boston’s Antoine Walker, a Chicago native, purchased 175 tickets to Bulls games, the most that senior director of ticket operations Joe O’Neil has sold to a player in his 24 years with the Bulls. . . . Roger Mason Jr.’s surgically repaired right shoulder has improved to the point where the rookie has begun shooting jumpers.
