...and then he does. Hey Rocks...the Bulls as they are now don't really have a go to guy. I've said that for a while---but I've used the phrase "difference maker". They are looking for their growth to come from within---they expect Curry and Chandler and Crawford---and even E-Rob after some time---to fill those roles. Thats all that can be done right now. What would a new GM do? What would you do?
Among the biggest myths in the NBA is that Eddie Robinson is a solid starting SF. He's a great energy guy off the bench who can play balls to the wall for 20+ minutes. He thrived in Cha because they played a run and gun style with Davis and Wesley. ERob was the beneficiery of getting open dunks and open baseline jumpers. The Bulls offense is completely opposite. There is LITTLE TO NO MOVEMENT. Even so, they lack a PG who can run with ERob, let alone set him up for some easy buckets. ERob's points will come off of putbacks from the bricks the Bulls lay. Don't get me wrong, ERob is a decent player, but to think he fits on the Bulls is a complete crock. If you paired him with Jason Kidd, he could be a Marion.
What I don't understand is HOW THE HELL ARE THE ROCKETS RANKED LOWER THAN THE HORNETS? Another thing that pissed me off was the fact that BARON DAVIS was chosen over STEVEEE to play in the goodwill games. Ya you might think Good Will Games??? Who gives a F@&K. I think it would of helped the Rockets image (always under rated). Atleast this year we'll get some prime time so the whole nation can see Houston's talent.
Steve could care less about being chosen for anything all I know is Steve francis will be in a Usa basketball uniform before his career is over and so will Cuttino mobley. Steve is all class I have never seen him hog the ball or worry about how many points he gets per game he is a team player.
Back to the topic.... Forget the Bulls, my vote now goes to the Knicks! They are stinking it up right now and are the real deal as far as worst team in the league goes! To hold Jamison to 2-13 shooting and STILL lose to the Golden State.... let's go Kincks!
Respectfully - I think the posts are being a little too critical of the Bulls. Jerry Krause is rebuilding the team - this being the beginning of his 4th season since the '98 championship. He needs some time with Tim Floyd and some more wise trading- like Elton Brand to the Clippers to get on track. With his reputation, he should be able to be a talent magnet. After all- he discovered Scottie Pippen. Pippen-Heart of the Blazers-he will win again
4 years is enough time to rebuild. The fact that Brand was the "future" of the Bulls in 99, then shipped off 2 years later is proof that Krause doesn't know what he's doing without MJ, Phil, and Scottie. Within 3 years, he will finally realize that having 2 teenagers is an asinine think to do. One of those 2 will be traded. Do I need to say anything more about Marcus Fizer? Jamal Crawford? All these #1 picks the Bulls have had won't be good anytime soon. And just when they become good, Krause will trade them for younger players. This looks to be a never-ending rebuilding process, as long as Krause is there. They will have trouble bringing in the top notch FA's because of Krause's reputation of treating his players like dog poop. It's also time that Tim Floyd gets axed. Have the Bulls improved ANY over the last 3 years? They have been the worst team in the league for 4 years now (including this year) and the fact that Floyd is not on the hot seat shows where this team is. Again, Chi will have trouble attracting a top-tier coach because of Krause's 20 chins hanging from above.
Riiiiiiight.... I sure hope that was sarcasm there....any decent team can rebuild in 4 years or less and obviously, the Bulls aren't decent. No one deals with Krause because of his reputation. Players don't want to play there because of it.
