Bulls are insignificant right now.

Knicks reportedly hire D'Antoni:

I hope this doesn't mean Avery Johnson is on his way.

So, it'll be that assistant coach from Boston who loves teh defense, then?

Should I be pissed?  I'm kinda pissed.  I'm pissed that the Bulls make more money than any other NBA team, and they apparently lost out on D'Antoni because they didn't want to pay him.

I'm thinking Paxson will just sit there and never actually hire a coach, because that would require making a decision on something.

That's the lone hope, but he's already turned Paxson down, and I'm just left to assume that Reinsdorf will offer him a low-ball offer as well.

Well, this is encouraging.

Here's an idea--

Why doesn't John Paxson just coach the team?

It's a process Mike.  He needs to be very sure about a guy before committing.  And then it'll take Reinsdorf a couple weeks to sign off.

In all honesty, I don't think Pax has it in him to deal with this roster, and he put it together.  He get's exasperated by the media and he's not going to want to grind out a season on the road with Tyrus and Kirk and the rest of the headcases.  He's become comfortable, which is not to say he doesn't want to win.  I don't see any way he considers this.

Reinsdorf is whining about how D'Antoni "misled" him and was "rude."  Give me a break.

"I'm disappointed in him," Reinsdorf told the Tribune. "I don't know what else we could've done. He chose to go to New York knowing there was a good chance we would make him an offer. If he had really wanted to be in Chicago, he would've waited. Instead, he misled us. It's not the end of the world, but it is somewhat rude."

The fool!  Why on earth would D'Antoni accept a lucrative contract offer when he new there was a good chance he'd definitely probably get one from the Bulls (that was lower)?

Not to mention, there's no downside to the Knicks job - lose, and they suck anyway. Win a few, and you're the next Red Holtzman.

Noah was arrested for marijuana possession.  I am shocked.  Shocked I tell ya.

Waddle and Silvy are talking about how it's been ten years since the last Bull Championship. The anniversary is this weekend I guess. I know it's been ten years, since I can read a calendar, but it just hit me. Ten goddamn years since we got to watch MJ and the gang.

Fuck, I'm old.

Just a reminder to say that the Bulls are still insignificant and probably will be forever.

This is a quality bump.
