Scott Skiles... FIRED!

[eathb]

who would've thought at the start of the season, he'd be the first to go.

Rick Carlisle, JVG available should be in contention for the bulls coaching job.

 

[jerry springer]

he is a good coach,a lot like doug collins , but his players would tune out at his yelling after awhile

Maybe Chicago played above themselves last year

 

[Raav]

maybe trading the rights Lamarcus Aldridge away to Portland and signing Ben Wallace to a 4 year $60 mil deal didn't help Scott Skiles chances.

Ben Wallace is overrated in my opinion, offers nothing on the offensive end

About bloody time!

Just like Rick Carlisle, Jeff Van Gundy, Eric Musselmanet al, the dictatorship style of coaching wears thin after a while. I rate Skiles as a coach but he would be someone I would employ to get some respect back for my franchise but as soon as I get some good talent at my disposal, I would be looking elsewhere.

If you are going to be a micromanager/dictator type coach, then you need to have a likeable personality off the court. All of the coaches I mentioned are inflexible and don't make it fun for their team.

Sloan and Pop are 2 hard assed coaches but they also befriend their players off the court so anything they do when the game is on is quickly forgotten.

Trading Chandler away for Wallace? Trading J.R Smith away for Eisley (who? didn't even play a game for the Bulls) and 2nd round pick?

The Hornets and Nuggets are still laughing

 

[Biggie]

Good.

Horrible man.

From the impression I get that is.

Ditto, seems like a very intense, angry man doesn't he ???
BTW Can't see him getting another job elsewhere ???

Apparently John Paxson may be the next to go if things don't improve soon.
In hindsight they probably should have traded for Kobe ...

Deos anyone even rate Wallace anymore?

He probably rates himself still

Bring back Jerry Krause and all will be forgiven.

You forgot Portland who are just laughing harder and harder as the time passes.

June 28, 2006 - The Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers made the following trade tonight: Chicago traded the Draft rights to LaMarcus Aldridge (the second overall pick) and a future Bulls second round draft choice to the Portland Trail Blazers for the Draft rights to Tyrus Thomas (the fourth overall pick) and the contract of Viktor Khryapa.

Great trade....

Chicago were dumb enough to give wallace a retirement pension.will hurt them for years

same thing will happen to orlando with Lewis's contract

So true. Good player def not worth what he got. At the moment anyway.
At Least Lewis scores well unlike Wallace.
