Balta1701 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Dwyane Wade questions Bulls' loyalty towards their ex-players. "I think the biggest question that you think about has to be loyalty," said Wade, a Richards grad who added he has been a Bulls fan for a long time. "I know one thing about Miami: It is a very loyal organization. I see what they do with their players when their players get done with the game of basketball … how loyal they are. I don't know about the Bulls." ... "I see Michael Jordan is not there, Scottie Pippen is not there. … You know, these guys are not a part," Wade said. "Things like that. So that is probably one of the biggest things for me, because I am a very loyal person." No word yet on whether or not Ex-Bulls John Paxson and Randy Brown agree with Wade that ex-Bulls aren't part of the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Scottie Pippen has been a part of the bulls here and there. He did some commentary with them, he has made appearances. I think Scottie has been one of those guys that just enjoys after-basketball life and doesnt really want to be tied down to an actual job that the Bulls would want him to be in.

Wade is obviously talking out his ass. If you don't want to come to Chicago, just say so. And his obsession with Michael Jordan is only trumped by Kobe's.

Chisoxfn Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 27, 2010 -> 08:27 AM) Dwyane Wade questions Bulls' loyalty towards their ex-players. No word yet on whether or not Ex-Bulls John Paxson and Randy Brown agree with Wade that ex-Bulls aren't part of the organization. I think Wade will have that question interviewed when he talks to Bill Cartwright (who was a coach for us for a long time and eventually our head coach), John Paxson (GM), BJ Armstrong (former asst. GM who left to become an agent), Pete Myers, Bill Wennington (commentator), etc. One thing JR is known for is the fact that he is very loyal to guys who were a part of his organizations for the most part. Sure, there are the occasional problem areas (i.e., Carlton Fisk) but I think Scottie and MJ both wanted to do different things more than anything. I think both would be welcome in with open arms. Jordan owns his own team and Pippen pretty much dissapeared from the spotlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 QUOTE (DBAHO @ May 26, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) And suddenly this series got very interesting again. Pressure is ALL is on Boston for Game 6. And they've got a lot of injury problems right now, Rondo's clearly playing hurt, Davis had a bad concussion, and Wallace looked pretty tight with his back before he fouled out. If Rondo can't get back to 100% I actually think we've got a real good opportunity to win games 6 and 7. I feel sorry for Perkins though, those 2 technicals were absolite BS, but as a Magic fan safe to say I was pretty happy to see him go. I would love for Boston teams to lose two playoff series after being up 3-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 The Wade comments are very interesting. He's already talked to LeBron, so this is probably good news for us and might indicate that LeBron is leaning towards Chicago. First, Wade probably tipped his hand that he has no interest in leaving Miami, what with touting them over the Bulls when you'd normally keep all options open, and second, he must have some sort of feeling that LeBron is leaning Chicago to make this garbage up. If LeBron does his due-diligence, and if he actually realizes who John Paxson is, then this won't have any effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably just as good of a chance of a blowout as there is the Suns putting a great game together. 2 wins on your home floor can be a momentum and confidence builder.

JorgeFabregas Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Wade's comments suggest that he really only cares about other superstars. Not including former superstars = not including former players. It's the average players who actually need the job post-basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I hope he breaks his leg. This guy is the same one who can't stay loyal to his wife. And if LeBron joins him in Miami, is he calling LeBron disloyal? Please. He's being a little [expletive] about the whole thing. I understand he wants players to choose Miami, but there's no reason to trash your hometown. If you are, say something that is true. Say the FO is inept or idiotic. Saying the Bulls are disloyal is just flat out wrong. They're loyal to a fault. Hell, go ask Jay Williams how loyal we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they don't want to waste their time with jobs that tie them down all the time. They probably don't want to be coaching or anything like that. The bulls did bring Pippen back to end his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bulls don't need to hire him as head coach if they don't feel he's a fit and he has the right to not want to be an assistant coach.
