The one common theme in the hilarious drama that is the Chicago Bulls is Jerry Reinsdorf. He is a typical awful leader. Someone who tells everyone he deals with exactly what they want to hear. He tells Krause he has his back and the decisions are his and then he flies to Montana and negotiates a deal directly with Jackson. If Reinsdorf disagreed with any of Krause's decisions, he would have overruled him. He didn't but he loves to sit there and pretend he had nothing to do with it.
The fact that the same situation occurred 15 years later with a different GM, Coach and Players tells you it was Reinsdorf all along.
I loved the kids getting interviewed at the United Center who said something like- "Mom and Dad asked us if we wanted Christmas presents under the tree this year or if we wanted to see Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman play.... we chose the Bulls".
Get these people certified ASAP! I recognize they are now in their late 30s, but someone's gotta show them love for that dedication
Its a surprise MJ made it his whole career with the bulls after seeing how early the tension had started with the front office in his second season coming back from injury. 18 million dollars is no small sum of money. I realize he had his family back in Arkansas (Shout out peter Jenkins) to take care of, but there must have been some serious mismanaging of his money going on there.
New paragraph for Trey Burton. I was never over the hills excited when the bears signed him. He was the backup tight end on the eagles who really didnt do much prior to us signing him. How are the bears not doing their due diligence before signing a guy, I would learn everything single thing there is to know about a guy before I commit 10 mill a year to him. Jimmy Grahm is going to be horrible. He hasnt been good since his days with the saints who happened to have a top 5 qb of all time.
My favorite part was the grown ass man on the opposing team asking MJ for his sweatband after the game.
Pippen is a clown. Did he have the worst agent of all time? He signed that contract way too early and had absolutely no leverage at all. He was literally warned by THE BULLS to not sign that deal. It's annoying af when guys sign these contracts and then get pissed a few years later because they think they deserve more. This is why guys bet on themselves. If you don't decide to bet on yourself and sign a long term contract, then you can't start demanding more once you start killing it on the court. Could the Bulls have renegotiated his contract? Sure. But instead they took advantage of his dumbass and used that extra money to build the greatest team of all time. I'm not faulting the Bulls for that. I get that he wanted to support his family as soon as possible but that's a dumb ass move on his part.
