What BROWN???...... I'm hope you don't mean Kwame Brown lol, that guy is one of the worst players in this league.Has no post moves, no jump shot, no speed, no defense, and no potential. He is just flat out a player who is making the NBA slip in appeal and is just an embarrassment to the NBA and every organization.
I still think if they were going to fire Skiles, they should have chucked Paxson out as well.Over the past yr Paxson has made too many obvious mistakes: Tyrus Thomas for LaMarcus Aldridge? Thabo Sefelosha drafted over Rudy Gay? Not to mention passing up on Kobe..... Paxson is next i'm afraid
I would say i am far from bagging Paxson, and believe his moves thus far since the Krause/Floyd era have been solid, he has acquired some nice parts, but nothing major has been acquired, by way in my opinion of a championship calibre player, all though rumours have continually abounded of talks involving Chi-town.
Personally while Krause is labelled as the franchise detroyer, and many other names, i do like the one he earned early in his career "crumbs" for continually getting donut or hot dog bun crumbs on his suit jacket, i dont recall who actually gave it to him, but it was mentioned in the book "Jordan Rules" from memory.
Anyways back to Krause and his ability as a GM, i dont rate him amongst the worst personally (Ike Thomas, Bob Whittsitt, Scott Layden and numerous Cavs people in the early 80's easily spring to mind), no question the whole Floyd debacle was something that hurt the franchise, but overtime he had made many well considered moves for the franchise which was in a shamples after the Rod Thorn era, in the late 70's and early 80's.
I thought the moves and players added around Jordan were good workmanlike players who didnt require a great deal of the ball and realised and assumed thier roles within the team.
He got John Bach on board the coaching staff (rumoured to be potentially re-joining the team) early in the piece and who is reknwoned as one of the better defensive coaches in the NBA along with Dick Harter also.
I am not a supporter of Krause, but believe he did well with a franchise over a long period, no doubt as earlier mentioned the Floyd era and the end of Jordan/Jackson era were handled less then well, for all parties but i always wonder how much that had to do with the ownership group as much as Krause during that time.
Big Ben still has what it takes to be a great player and DPOY. However, he hasn't got another tall to keep the offensive/defensive boards alive, he's got to do it himself, which you will find impossible to do when your the focus on being boxed out, where in Detroit he had Sheed helping out, or distracting some of that focus. When Noah/Thomas get more minutes they'd be hard to stop. The problem with the Bulls is, they want the ring/glory right now, rather than milk/breed their young talent and bring them all to the same page. You look at players in football, Collingwood youngsters, they get played into the ground, make mistakes yet are still on the field. Two different games yes, but they learn from their mistakes and learn to do what it takes to win.
Jordan was a great of all time, was he solely responsible for the Bulls success....aaggh sorry no he wasnt.
And as for the decline and breaking up of the Bulls...i am sorry but i believe in the horses for courses statement, a number of those were on the decline or past thier primes - Harper and Pippen to name two.
Now i am not saying the moves made to break the team up were quality, but the time had come no question about that....
Pippen was on the decline and after leaving the Bulls never averaged over 15 ppg. and at best was a secondary talent and not a leader of any franchise...Longley was a decent player but a back-up at best and had one reasonable year in Phoenix, before injuries took the rest of his career, yet he never in my opinion reached his potential after going so high to the T-Wolves...Harper played two more seasons with the Lakers and was solid contributor to a championship or two, however never showed any of the scoring ability/punch that he had with the Cavs and Clipps with either the Bulls or Lakers...Kukoc was a solid player who had a reasonable career in my opinion...always marred by the attachment of being the "European Jordan", but nevertheless was a good player..Kerr c'mon the guy was a semi-reasonable ball handler who could knock down some three's and was a decent on-court leader...but far from a key to success, i rate Paxson's contributions as a player more significant over the course of the Bulls success then Kerr....Rodman's days would be numbered wherever and whenever he played (even in the odd ball ABA2000), he was a classic means to end story for the Bulls...
Also even after the end of the Jordan/Jackson era the following season thier were still seven championship players on the roster, albiet no outright stars but the likes of Harper, Kukoc, Simpkens, Brown, LaRue, Wennington and some other stiff not worth mentioning.

Problems with the bulls and why they should get rid of Paxson.
1. They Paid Ben Wallace too much, he shoot low percentage and all he do is block shots and rebound, and he rarely do that now, he was better with the pistons because of the veteran circle they have
2. Tyrus shouldn't try to gain weight, he is decreasing his athletic ability
3. They need a physical point, because they don't have a low post threat
4. They have too many role players
5. Deng, Kirk, BG7 are secondary stars
GOD DAMN..I'm so pissed off....I couldn't believe John Paxson did this...Skiles is not the person to blame...It is the players..If I were him, I could have changed the roster as soon as possible..
6. THEY ARE NOT PHYSICAL
There was alot more to the success of the Bulls then just Pippen and Jordan
And your referance as to Jordan being able to win on any team/s without them...albiet with a Pippen like support show..
my question i want to now is what coach do the bulls need and what trade would help the bulls
i hate seeing the bulls go to shit they need some help fast
