I mean I could see after last year him jumping at anything besides the Bulls job—especially after every single move he seemed to make in the 18 months before this years trade deadline all seemed to backfire miserably this yr….

But then we won the lottery, locked down the #1 draft of hopefully Beasley (Though Rose would be nice too—I had to plug), and now coaches are clamorign for our team, and we have plenty of tradeable assets (having hte #1 allows us to part with both Gordon and Deng and even maybe Hinrich for a superstar if need be too, becasue we have so much depth elsewhere)....

Paxson now has one of the better NBA gigs in the country, a young team, with gobs of assets and talent and a new coach coming in to give them some renewed life, and not to mention a potential superstar coming in on June 26th, and a budding could be star player if everything matures in Tyrus (superstar athletically, just not on the court hopefully yet).....

ND has gobs more pressure, their football team is fading fast, their recruiting is getting tougher and tougher due to the school size and the demands of the academics at Notre Dame…..

The Bulls gig also I would think pays more $$ and will be much more secure and in an area that he has to love (bball) and for a team that he won a championship for (vs just playing for the basketball team at ND)....I doubt Pax will be gone.
