ESPN.com has posted that Skiles expects to add Kelvin Sampson to his staff in Milwaukee. Sampson’s name has been mentioned along with Craig Neal from New Mexico and (Michael Jordan’s favorite) Joe Wolf. Does this mean that everyone’s favorite interim head coach will be out of a job next year, spoiling a triumphant return to Milwaukee? Maybe CSN can hire him to work with Kendall and Norm, you know, to get a coach’s perspective.

And then I would have to leave the country…taking only a backpack and Luke Stuckmeier with me.

It hit me tonight – the Pistons are going down and Saunders will get the axe.
Flip might bery well be the best coach for the bulls. His easy demeanor yet sucessfull resume might be the best coaching combination for the team.

It also dawned on me that an excellent destination for Larry Hughes would be the Hornets; the only questions is – what would they trade for him?

A few days ago I would have figured there’s no way they’d fire D’Antoni, but if they get swept in the 1st round you really have to wonder. If he becomes available, the Bulls should do everything in their power to hire him.

It has been said there are no stupid questions, but this proves there are stupid people. After all, Cleveland actually traded for Ben Wallace to help their title push..ROFLMAO.

ESPN the magazine quoted an NBA scout saying the Bulls regressed under Boylan, I would say he was to the Bulls what Katrina was to New Orleans. I hope Skyles doesn’t forget his old buddies, the 3 hoop stooges (Jimbo, Ronnie and Pete) and takes this sorry trio to Milwaukee so we can get a hat trick for making a clean sweep of all of this year’s garbage.

I know Scottie Pippen has had some issues and has no experience but I would love to see him join the Bull’s staff as an assistant. Phil Jackson said he had the highest basketball IQ of anyone he ever coached, possessing instant recall of previous plays giving him the ability to quickly adjust to game situations. He sounds to me like someone who could propel our bigs into big league players after being dragged through the quicksand by the previous regime. Give Thibedau the head coaching job to instantly improve the defense and hire a former head coach who would settle for being an assistant to get him over the rough spots. The Bulls save money and everyone is reinvigorated, including the new coaches who are motivated to prove their mettle since they already understand what it takes to win in the NBA.

and screwing up his finances. Sounds like a perfect fit for the Bulls since this would be familiar territory to those who worked under the previous regime. He would be hired for his basketball smarts, not his ability to take over as Federal Reserve Chairman. Was he wrong when he said Tyrus is great from the neck down, or Kirk is not a good point guard and Ben G shoots to much?

If he could transfer some of his vast bball knowledge to Tyrus, Thabo and Noah, how could this be a disaster any worse than it already is? He would be an assistant, not the chief honcho, which I agree, would be a train wreck without having prior experience. If it doesn’t work out, he could be shown the door. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. He came from a small town (Tyrus could relate), played hard at both ends (Noah would respect that) and was a winner (Top 50 players of All Time). Who do you think the young guys would more readily listen to? Ron Adams, Jim Boylan, Bozo the Clown or Scottie Pippen? I say give him a chance to fail or succeed. Hopefully he has matured somewhat and his past indiscretions have taught him some lessons which he can also share with our youthful team. If he has his ego in check, the teaching he is capable of imparting could be very rewarding to everyone, including himself.

Now Skiles gets to destroy his old team 4 times a year. The Bucks are more athletic and better on offense. They will dominate the Bulls, who are sinking lower and lower by the hour.
