That is a miserable top ten...

…not saying it isn’t right, but it gives you a glimpse into how terrible this organization has been.

Amazing, all those draft picks

And the best guy of the decade is an average PG currently on a bad contract. Part of me wants to say trade everybody besides Rose and Noah, try to land a few 1st round picks, and let’s start this whole process again. At this point, it’s really the only realistic plan that could lead to a title anytime soon.

How the hell are Elton Brand, Jamal Crawford, Eddy Curry, and Jalen Rose on this list

But Tyson Chandler doesn’t make it? Rose and Brand were stat padders on garbage teams, Curry hardly distinguished himself any more than Tyson.

Also, Isiah Thomas should be on this list, he definitely had more of an impact on the Bulls than half the players.

The 2009 White Sox....like a 40 degree day.

RECD

I totally agree, my friend told me about this before i saw it, he said it was done via fan voting, and then it all made sense…I also asked him about the logic behind this, and he said that sadly logic and bulls havent had much of a relationship in this past decade…sad and true…

On Behalf of Sue, Wjb, majoyenrac, Bullshooter and all the other Hinrich fans...Ill keep the Hinrich Hope coming...There will be light!

It was done by fan voting, but then the editor changed it.

Ben Gordon was #1 in the fan voting, followed by Derrick Rose at #2.

Maybe the ones who voted were the only ones who actually pay attention

Seriously

What was the editor thinking? I am a huge hinrich fan, but i hate having him be number 1 on a list that has no real logic, its more throwing him under the bus, more giving people who might not completely hate him, reason to hate him…that pisses me off. I would be fine having hinrich at number 3 (i’d say thats where he probably belongs) because it would still signify his importance to the organization, without making him out to be what he really isnt……hell i could understand not putting rose in there (cuz he only has one year of the decade?) and moving hinrich to 2…but having him at 1 just makes no sense (unless the editor came out and said, well bg would be number one, but because he went to the pistons we cant let him have it, and for that reason we put hinrich at 1) sigh….stupid bulls organization, throwing hinrich under every bus…

Nocioni

Was the team MVP his second year in the league….that’s why he’s on there.

Curry couldn’t even play in the 4th quarter….Tyson definitely deserves to be ahead of him….Chandler was as solid as BG in BG’s amazing rookie year.

Sadly....through thick and thin....

i dont remember chandler being as solid as bg

I remember chandler being something between tyrus thomas and noah. Basically noahs build, and tyrus’ potential and treatment from the bulls. Chandler was as productive as tyrus too, he messed up defensively quite a bit, but when he was on his game it was a sight, Offensively he was quite timid, and defensively he made mistakes that drove skiles crazy. But his build and his hands were extremely good and he could rebound at a high rate and had great ability to run the floor.

I remember an interview when Tyson (now with the hornets) told the tribune that when he first got to new orleans, he was sort of scared when he got the ball in the lowpost, always looking for someone to pass it to. Byron Scott yelled at him and told him that he should dunk it, or try to dunk it everytime he got the ball. So chandler began to do that, and thats what led to his bread and butter, pass from paul and dunk, offensive board and dunk….

But with the bulls, chandler was tyrus thomas in the body joakim noah (both from this year)….
