2000-2001 Bulls team - Third worst team of the decade.

Remember, the summer of 2000 was supposed to be it. Actually, scratch that, Chicago had big designs on the summer of 1999, if we're honest. And, if we're to be completely accurate, the summer of 1998 was supposed to see all sorts of free agents flock to Chicago to eat up the team's cap space. The summer of 1998 didn't happen, for anyone. GM Jerry Krause saw the writing on the wall when most FAs signed with their old teams for more money in the truncated post-lockout offseason, and after talking up the 1999 offseason, he decided to make a few more cap-clearing moves and parlay that money (and two lottery picks) to the 2000 offseason.

The return? An out-of-shape Brad Miller(notes), Ron Mercer, Jamal Crawford(notes) and Marcus Fizer. Fifteen wins, losing by an average of 9.1 points per game.

I am surprised more Bulls teams didn't make it...

I'm proud to say..

I have watched one of the worst seasons and one of the greatest of all time in 1996. Jeez.

I have seen a QB and it was good.

He got his ass kicked!!

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."- Michael Jordan

Let history repeat itself..so John Paxson can also see the writing on the wall and join Krause doing something else..

"I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it."
"Go ahead, make my day"
"We boil at different degrees"
"A good man always knows his limitations"
"You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"
