Is it possible Jason knows he's talking about Bernstein, especially when he mentioned those in the media who "allowed Paxson to scapegoat Derrick Rose by leaking injury updates to the media about how he's doing in practice"? Because that was Dan's rallying cry throughout most of that showdown between Rose and management: "He's. Killing. It. In. Practice."

I think he does. At one point when Bernstein was ranting about Gar and Hoiberg this year, Goff kept saying stuff like "this is what you wanted." The you in that case could be seen as referring to GarPax but it applied just as much to Bernstein, who's been a bigger sycophant for the front office than even the useless beat writers.

I just tuned in, but is he still trying to exclude Paxson from any responsibility for this mess? He finally started breaking bad on Gar this season, but was still saying stuff like "I just wish Paxson was able to demonstrate his vision for this team, because this obviously isn't his fault."

During transition Goff said The mealy-mouthed media who cover this team let John Paxson and Gar Forman get away with this stuff...

Well, why don't you get your badass self down there and ask the tough questions? Or, since you have your own radio show, get both of them on your show and ask them the tough questions?

That stuttering bitch Goff covered the Bulls, never did that pussy ask a tough question.

if team performance were actually tied to profitability then reinsdorf would do something about team performance

That Heyward interview was embarrassing.

Rose's injuries screwed the Bulls. No combination of moves since then point would have put them in any better spot than they are right now.

That Heyward interview was embarrassing.

Well, not signing Wade and Rondo, not trading for Payne, not drafting buster after buster, moving Butler, not hiring Hoiberg....for starters

That Heyward interview was embarrassing.

what? So you think they'd be better off if they were the Nets or something?

i think they'd be better off making a full rebuilding effort, yes.

Fair enough. I disagree.

what? So you think they'd be better off if they were the Nets or something?

so you feel they should continue to try and build around Butler and hope to sign a good free agent ? or what ?

Yes. They would be better off tearing everything down and starting from scratch. The Nets are a terrible example because they mortgaged their entire future away with no light at the end of the tunnel in sight.

Ok fine, the lakers and 76ers then. No thanks

I'm not necessarily in the trade Butler camp. He has a very cap friendly contract. I think if they would have begun the rebuild this year they might be able to turn things around in time and still have a couple years of Jimmy in his prime when they are good again. Instead they will now languish in the 7,8,9,10th seed and Jimmy will waste away and ultimately leave for nothing.

but there's a lot of talent on this team. They would still be playing right now and we wouldn't even be having this conversation if Rondo doesn't break his thumb in the first round.

there's a lot of talent ? care to point out who, other than Butler ?
