I'll give Nas his due, he was one of the first to jump on the Pax sucks wagon.

I said he would produce more than Wallace. I don't think anyone can deny that Hughes and Gooden have been an upgrade over Wallace.

In past Bulls lore, he's Bill Wennington with more talent.

Bill had a better jumper. Wennington could step back and hit that 15 to 17-footer.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You do make a good point though. Do the Bulls really have to have a big or can a scoring 2 or 3 work? There aren't many big men out there that can score and rebound. I think the Bulls need a scorer more than anything to compliment Rose. Would a guy like Vince Carter interest you? He would be a nice fit with Rose and he only has 2 years ($33M) remaining on his deal. Gerald Wallace? Doesn't have a huge contract and he is athletic and can put the ball in the basket (as long as he isn't shooting 3's). Carmelo? Pure scorer and clutch. The Nuggets may want to go in a different direction soon. Wade? The Heat are trying to rebuild and I don't think Wade wants to stick around for that. His value is high right now and Riley loves making deals. Redd? Pure scorer that would be a nice compliment to Rose. Boozer? Will be a free agent after the season (opting out) and with the play of Millsap the Jazz might think he is expendable. Don't forget with the economy the way it is right now a lot of teams are struggling to fill seats. Because of this the salary cap for next season isn't likely to increase and teams may want to sell in order to stay profitable. February may be a great time to buy.

Pax might be gone very soon

Rumor or speculation?

Not to make fun of you, but I'm hoping you heard a rumor...

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Close.

There are no plans to fire Paxson at all. To the contrary, if he walked in tomorrow and threw down the resignation, Reinsdorf would not take it. At least right away, that I am very sure of. If no trades are able to be made, expect that situation to change.

So to make a call on my part, or anyones part, is pure speculation as nothing is set to happen, but it could change in a heartbeat.

The Bulls are a Sports Phenom. Here they are battling for the bottom of the NBA and they are 2nd in NBA attendance and have been top 3 since Jordan retired! So , no lack of funding exists for this team, considering they own the stadium outright as well, with 20,000 a night! This team has so much cash, they have let guys go like Tim Thomas and just paid them to leave! Just to get a clean slate.

So while the team needs to improve, the turmstyles still spin and spin and no real urgency exists.

I think BigFan brings up a very valid point about attendance. Thanks in large part to so many fans that couldn't see Michael Jordan & the Bulls win 6 NBA Championships in 8 years in the '90s, despite the fact the Bulls have become an NBA punching bag again, they're still among the league leaders in home attendance year after year since the breakup of the title teams right after the 1998 lockout. As for those wanting to see John Paxson as General Manager of the Bulls, the only way that happens is if Pax & Uncle Jerry have another clash over who the head coach of this team should be. I'm convinced that head coach Vinny Del Negro was a Reinsdorf hire, particularly because he was not interested in paying the kind of $$$$ that Mike D'Antoni got from the New York Knicks and that he owed Scott Skiles $4 million for this season.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Where did this come from?

Does O'Neal have anything left?
