Center Artis Gilmore, 38, has been waived by the Chicago Bulls.
"Artis is debating retirement and has asked us to waive him, thus
keeping his options open for a possible return to the NBA at a later
date if he should decide not to retire," said Jerry Krause, the
team's vice president for operations. If he retired without waivers,
Gilmore would be ineligible to return to the NBA for one year.
Gilmore played 24 games this season, averaging four points and
two rebounds a game. He lost his starting job to Dave Corzine this
week . . .
