The Bulls, as an organization, did right by Scottie. So of course he takes shots when the faucet gets turned off.

trust TMZ to get the real story 6 months after it happened.

Why are people considered fired when they have a contract, finish a contract, and choose to spend more time at a different job in California than to fly in here?

What the bulls front office did after winning the 6th championship was egotistical and showed no loyalty. They thought they were so good they could move on from Jordan, Pippen and Jackson without paying them what they deserved and not miss a beat. Its a travesty because they likely could have won more championships and it tarnished the FO to all other future stars that would hit free agency.

What was wrong was how scottie and michael said spread false rumors the throughout the league about reinsdorf and krause because of scottie's contract. A contract he was warned not sign by ownership. Mj did krause dirty. Krause deserved more credit than he got.

The Bulls were so unloyal to Pippen that they did this:

Pippen will sign a five-year contract worth $67.2 million and starting at close to $11 million in the first season.

The deal also includes incentives that could increase Pippen's take to $82 million over the five years. The Bulls were instrumental in that element, because if Pippen had signed directly with the Rockets, they would not have been allowed to include incentives under the new collective bargaining rules.

BULLS SHIPPIN' PIPPEN

So the disloyal Bulls subverted the new collective bargaining agreement that ended up helping Pippen earn an extra $15 million dollars, and traded him to a perennial title contender in Houston that had Olajuwon and Barkley on the team. The Bulls were disloyal, even later, when they signed Pippen to a two-year deal worth $10 million and he only played 23 games. Then the jersey retirement. Then the phony team ambassador gig that I'm sure was at least six figures.

I'd love to have that kind of disloyalty in my life.

Alright you guys can be on the side of the old rich white guy that has run two franchises into the trash and shown an unwillingness the really spend big to attract names and create a winner. I'll stay on the side of every big name athlete that has been unwilling to deal with the bulls for some odd reason time after time.

To be honest I think Jordan and Pippen both were probably pretty big dbags, but I'm also pretty certain the front office handled everything very poorly.

That is what Jordan is saying about his ESPN deal, he is shown as a terrible person.
No way I am on the "old white guys" side, just saying that you sign a contract for a period of time, then choose not to renew, the term is not being fired. Being fired is being let go while you are under contract. We all know that Scottie Pippens boy is in the same highschool as LeBrons boy and a few other star players. That is where he lives. He has the jump deal and a podcast there. He was no longer chicago, he came into town when he was contracted to do so, stayed in a hotel and left.
I just have a problem with the term fired, thats all.

Oh yeah I have no issue with the current issue with Pippen. I'm just talking about when the team all left after the last championship.

I usually take the players side on things like contract disputes vs owners. I just dont think it was right for mj and scottie to spread false rumors about management. This has hurt the bulls to this day in their ability to attract free agents. Funny thing you complain about rich old white guys, now that mj is an owner he has taken a 180 on his previous positions regarding the cba.

Hilarious video. Essentially blame everyone but Krause? lol

Some of that information isn't even accurate. There were public verbal arguments between Jackson and Krause where Krause told Jackson, "I don't care if it's 82-0 this year, you're fucking gone."

Krause didn't want Jackson back period. The dude hired his fucking fishing buddy to replace perhaps the greatest coach of all-time.

Krause isn't blameless, but a lot of other people are also responsible.

Perhaps but I allocate most of the blame to Krause. "Players and coaches don't win championships, organizations do." Only a jealous ignoramus would say something like this when you've got perhaps the greatest player and greatest coach of all-time.

I guarantee Bob Kraft would never say something so stupid after a Patriots title.

He should not have said that but he should have gotten more credit than he got.

Who is Bill Kraft? LOLOLOL

Garry Maddox's favorite games?

Krause won the Executive of the Year award twice. What more credit did you want him to get? Maybe Madonna on her knees for Jerry like she did for Pip and MJ?
