you must pay to read it. But I have the most juicy parts here: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...er-fred-hoiberg-spt-1221-20151220-column.html Then Johnson tweeted this nice backtracking comments after having spent a year of startig the anti-Rose campaign: As a Bulls hater I say again and again, the fish rots from the head. It's always the same. It's the owner who is cheap and has infighting problems with all his teams and the FO GarPax. They are the roots of all problems. I have never seen another team using the press so consistently and methodically against their own players.
I'm not defending Butler against those accusations in the Johnson article. But, I do want to ask, wtf is wrong with this part? Am I missing something? Many stars show up early and take prolonged shooting practice by themselves with a ball retriever. That's usually regarded highly by the media and fans.
Yes you are missing the agenda. Last year when he started the anti-Thibs campaign he wrote that "Thibs was rude to a cleaning woman once" to help with the character assasination. But when Gar chocked his own coach VDN, the same so called journalist didn't report anything at all. Nothing.
Far from smelling like a Rose, Bulls' problems go deeper than chemistry <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Noah on Butler's comments: "I just wish it would've been kept in-house, maybe.
