Sickening loss for the Bulls!

[Nacho]

Mark Jackson is another possible coaching option- its been known he has wanted to get into it for a while- I wanted him over Del Negro... they both have(had) no coaching experience but Del Negro just "doesnt pass the eye test" as a coach IMO... Not sure if Mark Jackson is the answer either, but I heard that Laurence Frank might be the #1 candidate..terrible- I HATE how the NBA just recycles coaches...

Incidentally I don't think a name coach will help the bulls bring anyone in per se, more like the del Negro experience would discourage anyone from coming. Any reasonably competent coach would seem to make the bulls' money as good as anyone else.

The eye test LOL...How about Van Gundy?

Van Gundy passes the shin-hugging test.

Avery Johnson is not a good coach, which is why he's had one shot and is doing analysis. There just aren't that many great NBA coaches out there right now.

I think that the Bulls should hire JL because it solves two problems. Can we start a rumor that he's next in line for the Bull's head coaching job? He woudn't be any worse than the Tim Floyd hire. The rumor wouldn't be much more ridiculous than the Marquette job.

I'm not apologizing for him because I know he did a great job building the Bulls teams that won 6 NBA Championships. And I'm not related to him other than the fact we both went to the same college and I'm kind of loyal that way. Never met him but I like him.

I think the problems started when Jerry traded Jordan's buddy Oakley to get Cartwright which I believe was one of the best trades he made. Then Jordan turned on him and got his loyal minions to follow him. I was sorry to see Pippen take that route. As far as Phil Jackson, if Jerry Krause doesn't hire him, he'd still be a CBA coach and you wouldn't know his name. So yeah, I like Jerry, I won't become a member of a pack and turn on him.

If you really want to look at how "good" of a GM that Krause is, let's look at his disaster in rebuilding. He hired Tim Floyd to coach the Bulls. He was the first person to give that disaster an NBA job, which lead to another failed NBA head coaching position and a firing from USC. He trade Elton Brand for Curry... Fizer #4 pick... Eddie Robinson as the major free agent addition (stealing $40 mil/5 years).

You could say that he drafted well, but he traded good players away before they developed. Brad Miller and Ron Artest for Jalen Rose... As questionable as some of Paxton's moves have been, I'd still rather have Paxton than Krause. Krause got handed the best player in NBA history, hit on one draft pick, and made one good trade. Clearly he's better then Phil's record tying 10-NBA championships.

I don't think Phil would do well with a young, rebuilding team. Phil, like Riley, really needs a strong veteran team for his coaching style to work.

Also please don't use wikipedia as a source.

Anybody know if there's anyone out there the bulls could pursue that would allow them to attract top free agents?

Merfeld.

Add a loss to the lowly Knicks now. Well I guess the Knicks aren't to lowly, they now have a better record than the Bulls LOL. Bulls was down by 21 points at halftime and lost by 7.
