Now, for all I know his equally inept owner Jerry Reinsdorf is the one calling the shots and making the once-mighty Bulls the least relevant team in the Windy City. But as long as Paxson keeps cashing his paychecks, he's part of the problem.
One word: Upside
The Bulls are a team that’s right there. At least, they were. After a nice playoff run last year, many predicted them to seriously contend in the East. This sentiment was amplified when rumors had Chicago potentially acquiring Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol, or Kobe Bryant.
Of course, none of these deals got done, and the team regressed in a big way.
However, these Baby Bulls still have a lot of good, young pieces that can be developed or traded. They have a reasonable cap situation—and oh, by the way, it doesn’t hurt that they have the number-one pick in Thursday’s draft.
What would I do as the Bulls GM?
Apologize for the last 10 years
I’d apologize for the Bulls breaking up their dynasty and not keeping Jordan in the organization. When you have a superstar of that magnitude who is that beloved by the fans, you keep him around. Period.
You offer him an ownership stake. You do whatever it takes to keep him coming to games, signing autographs, and reminding everyone that this franchise was great once.
