  "account": "The Chicago Bulls are set to introduce a rotation of analysts to replace the late Stacey King on CHSN telecasts this season, according to Front Office Sports. King, a three-time champion with the team in the 1990s and a 19-season commentator, passed away at 59 after a fall in his suburban Chicago home. Notable candidates for the analyst rotation include Robbie Hummel, a former Purdue standout who has previously filled in for Bulls games. While a Bulls spokesperson did not comment, the Chicago Sun-Times previously reported mutual interest between Hummel and the organization, though he may not be available full-time due to national commitments. Replacing King with an analyst rotation makes sense for the Bulls in several ways. Firstly, King was a beloved figure, making it challenging for any successor. By having multiple analysts, the Bulls can gauge the best fit. Additionally, the pay scale for announcers on regional sports networks has decreased as the cable and satellite bundle has dwindled, making it difficult to secure high-profile players like Joakim Noah, who made $142 million during his playing career.",
