You mean the franchise where the GM-in-hiding-behind-a-stooge went all three stooges on the head coach might not be a first class operation.
Gar Forman's "clamor to join the organization" b.s. sounds like Lovie Smith. Sure, dude, there are boatloads of people who love working for people who slap them around every now and then. They're called 'sadomasochists' and would be v pleased to get paid to get beat up instead of having to pay a hooker extra for the service.
Wade questions Bulls' loyalty
By Fred Mitchell, Tribune reporter
"Perception can turn into harsh reality, and the Bulls' image as unfriendly to former stars could adversely affect the team's ability to land a premier free agent.
The Cavaliers' LeBron James, the Heat's Dwyane Wade and the Hawks' Joe Johnson plan to discuss their respective plans with each other before making a decision once free agency begins July 1, Wade told the Tribune on Wednesday.
And when the Bulls come up in the conversation, talk won't necessarily focus on Derrick Rose.
"I think the biggest question that you think about has to be loyalty," said Wade, a Richards grad who added he has been a Bulls fan for a long time. "I know one thing about Miami: It is a very loyal organization. I see what they do with their players when their players get done with the game of basketball … how loyal they are. I don't know about the Bulls."
Wade said it appears to him that the Bulls don't measure up to the Heat in the loyalty department.
"I see Michael Jordan is not there, Scottie Pippen is not there. … You know, these guys are not a part," Wade said. "Things like that. So that is probably one of the biggest things for me, because I am a very loyal person."
Bulls general manager Gar Forman insists top coaches and free agents will clamor to join the organization. And Bulls officials in the past have downplayed perceptions that the organization has a loyalty problem.
And even though the physical clash between John Paxson and former coach Vinny Del Negro did not help the team's image, Wade said the choice of the Bulls' next coach would not be a factor."
