    will somebody explain to me this lard ass guy in chicago..is he part of ownership or was he hired as GM of operations or what?

    I personally wouldnt play for the guy or work with him simply because he comes across as such an a-hole..i mean who is this guy? he has to be in ownership because if he's not the owner is making a huge mistake...

    didnt he have something to do with mj leaving? i dont follow chicago internal affairs so forgive me for being uninformed but jesus who is that guy?

    Jerry Reinsdorf is the majority owner. Krause is like his best friend. He is also the GM and a really small minority owner if I remember correctly.

    Ron Mercer may be a 3rd rate player in some minds, but he's better than probably all but 3 players on the Rox squad.

    Here is the actual transcript from the "important" phone call he had to take:

    Ring, Ring

    JK - "Hello, and thank you for calling the Chicago Bulls, Krause speaking, how may I help you?"

    Doc Rivers - "NAH NAH NAH NAH NAAAAAHHH NAAAAHHHH!!!!!"

    *Chuckling in the background*

    JK - "WWHHHOOO is this?"

    third rate players average 17 points? no, i think jerry krause was mad because he didnt get a "big" time free agent ,, but the moron doesnt know he lucked out by getting mercer.

    How can you honestly say Ron Mercer is a good player? Stats don't say everything. Trust me, I watched him for half a season. It was miserable. He's a ball-hog, and hated by his teammates.

    If you're interested, check out the article below for more info on Mercer.

    Mercer is terrible. Only interested in his stats. Also, he couldn't guard Elvis either (and Elvis hasn't moved in 23 years) [​IMG]

    Remember last year when he said he was going to get Hill & Duncan on the same team?

    I saw the title of this thread and thought for a moment that it was going to be about me.

    If a guy can score 17 ppg, he's not a 3rd rate player.As for Jerry Krause, the reason why he rushed out of the press conference was because he was in the middle of lunch [​IMG]
