the Chicago BULLS...After n Before 2 NBA MVP's.....Right After AIR JORDAN and Right Before D-ROSE....the BULLS were in Disarray

We now have Derrick POOH ROSE on the WEST SIDE of Chi -City and he calls the United Center and CHICAGO HOME as was Born and Raised here. But it wasn't the Now MADHOUSE on MADISON was in complete and utterly disarray because of BAD Management.

Enter JORDAN, SCOTTIE, the WORM, and Coach Phil JACKSON's bunch when the WON their 6th Title and caped off their 2nd Three-Peat. Most Organizations would say let's NOT Break this group up right. It's the old adage.....IF IT ISN'T BROKE....DON'T FIX IT. Not if you have a GENERAL MANAGER the BULLS had that was almost envious to the point of WHEN DO I GET RECOZGNIZED for all these CHAMPIONSHIPS I put this together.

The BULLS GM then...Meet and Greet with a HOT DOG, Potato Chpius, and 4 DONUTS....Jerry "CRUMBS" KRAUSE. A Baseball man by trade he was a SCOUT with the CHicago White Sox when then Owner and CHAIRMAN of both the BULLS and PALE HOSE, Jerry REINSDORF, took a chance and put KRAUSE in the BULLS Organization as GM.

The BULLS after the 1998 Championship were tired of hearing every season is this it what is MANAGEMENT going to do. COACH JACKSON, MIKE, SCottie, and the REST of the BULLS were at a HEAD with CRUMBS and the CONS out weighed then PROS and they broke up the BULLS.

PIPPEN getting a sign and trade deal with the Houston ROCKETS, Phil JACKSON moving on to the LAKESHOW coaching SHAQFu and the BALCK MAMBA, JORDAN retiring for the 23rd Time, and the rest of the BULLS to fend for themselves.

This is where and the BLUEDUDE tells SPORTS FANS all over the GLOBE about this dreaded word called REBUILDING. WHt is REBUILDING:

by Freedictionary.com: Rebuilding is to build again. To make extensive structural repairs on. To remodel or to make extensive changes in.

NBA FANS and BULLS FANS you see the BIG WORDS....BUILD AGAIN......EXTENSIVE STRUCTURAL REPAIRS...to REMODEL....this is what the BULLS and CRUMBS wanted to do instead of letting the BUILDING or in this CASE FOUNDATION of the FRANCHISE breakdown itself then fix it.

Enter the BULLS FRANCHISE right after 1998 into the 2000's....Look at some of the PICKS the BULLS made and the COACHES they chose to RUN the BULLS......some of the PICKS at the Time were RIGHT and some of them WRONG.

The Notable PLAYERS for the BULLS from 1999-Current

1999 Elton BRAND DUKE All-American
1999 Ron Ron ARTEST ST JOHN'S
2000 Marcus FIZER IOWA STATE
2001 Eddy CURRY South HOLLAND IL THORNWOOD HS
2001 Tyson CHANDLER Compton CA DOMIGUEZ HS Draft Day trade for Elton BRAND
2002 Jay WILLIAMS DUKE later ended career in MOTORCYCLE Accident
2003 Kirk HINRICH KANSAS
2004 Ben GORDON UCONN
2004 Luol DENG DUKE
2006 Tyrus THOMAS LSU Draft Day Trade for LaMarcus ALDRIDGE WOW
2007 Joakim NOAH FLORIDA
2008 DERRICK POOH ROSE MEMPHIS #1 OVERALL PICK
2009 James JOHNSON WAKE FOREST
2009 Taj GIBSON USC


If you look at those PICKS GM KRAUSE made those up to 2003 them PAXSON made every pick beginning 2004 Season and on. The MOVE that stuck out the most was the 2001 Draft Day Trade trading 2000 Co-Rookie Of the YEAR Elton BRAND and walking 20-10 Player for Tyson CHANDLER.....that never paid any dividends.

Then the BULLS were set back by DUKE PG Jay WILLIAMS getting into a Career-Ending Motorcycle accident after reprtedly being told by his teammates again and again not to ride it.

The HINRICH, DENG, and GORDON was a nice TRIO but could only get you to a certain point. TYRUS THOMAS for LaMARCUS ALDRIDGE was and still is a killer. But as a GM some o those PICKS just look and feel like the RIGHT ONES. It's a High Risk-High Reward Business there is NO EXACT Science to DRAFTING trust me o that.

Then you enter the NOAH pick where BULLS FANS were like Why he was the 3rd Best Player on those BACK to BACK GATOR TEAMS with Al HORFORD (Atlanta HAWKS) and Corey BREWER (MAVS via T'WOLVES) being the better players on that team. NOAH is a prime example of you can't measure a PLAYER'S DNA.....MAKE-Up....NOAH Desire and toughness outweighs some of his shortcomings in his game and he is a perfect FIT in what the BULLS are trying to do now.

Then finally a FRANCHISE PLayer and the BULLS 1st All-Star since JORDAN.....Chicago's Own DERRICK ROSE. The reigning 2010-11 NBA MVP is the cornerstone of a once Proud Franchise and he has taking us back to PROMINENCE in the NBA as we also had the NBA's BEST RECORD last season.

But looking back on how the BULLS got their isn't the way you draw it up. That's why I say FANS...stay away from that word REBUILDING as long as you can because you never know when the Division Titles, PLAYOFFS, NBA TITLES, and just relevance will come back into play.

For right now the BULLS are in a real good place and wouldn't BET AGAINST them getting another BANNER or three in the next 5-6 YEARS. I have always been a BULLS FAN but I live but how MY PITTSBURGH STEELERS Draft......Have a SYSTEM and PHILOSOPHY in PLACE..then DRFAT the PLAYERS that fit your SCHEME or SYSTEM and you will always be IN IT to WIN IT.

GO BULLS......#TEAM12 BANNERS #BULLS #STEELERS
