It would be nice to see Chicago as an elite team in the NBA once again. Paxson has done a good job since that rat Krause has been gone. Sure Krause drafted Pippen and acquired Kukoc (though he pissed off the Bulls players by ignoring their current contract needs at the time), but he also was the main reason that MJ, Pip, and Jackson left. In addition, he traded away Elton Brand (after two outstanding seasons to start his career) and Ron Artest/Brad Miller for Tyson Chandler and Jalen Rose/Travis Best. Absolutely shitty deals.
I like Hinrich and Gordon in the backcourt; I think they will eventually start together. But for now, Skiles is starting an untraditional lineup, and its working.
