Chicago Bulls: Desperately Seeking a Better GM

In addition, I’d apologize for drafting Marcus Fizer and hiring Tim Floyd.  I’d apologize for trading Elton Brand and drafting Eddy Curry.  I’d apologize for signing Ben Wallace.  I’d apologize for dealing Tyson Chandler, the younger, less expensive version of Ben Wallace, to Charlotte.  I’d apologize for trading LaMarcus Aldridge for Tyrus Thomas. 

And last but not least, I’d apologize for not signing Mike D’Antoni, a mistake that may take years for this franchise to get over.

Speaking of which…

Replace Vinny Del Negro ASAP

Okay, I probably couldn’t do it as quickly as I'd like.  After all he did just sign a contract less than a month ago.  But I’d definitely tell him in no uncertain terms that we’re building a winner.  And the moment he loses this team, he’s gone—even if it’s mid-season. 

I’d also start text messaging Avery Johnson on a regular basis.  Just to get the ball rolling. 

Draft Derrick Rose

 This is, of course, the easiest decision in the world.  It’s so easy I don’t even feel the need to explain it. 

Make trades

Part of Paxson’s legacy will be the fact that he didn’t move on potential deals—in part because he seems to have a delusional sense of Luol Deng’s value.
