Kerr dominates Paxson in poll
Last week when Steve Kerr resigned as the general manager of the Phoenix Suns,because he wasn’t going to get rehired, I pondered the idea of Kerr coming back to Chicago to replace John Paxson as the Bull’s Vice President of Basketball Operations.
I asked the question to you, who would be a better for the Bulls, Kerr or Paxson. Kerr dominated Paxson, getting 36 of the 52 votes. I wonder if Kerr would beat Gar Forman, like he did Paxson.
Kerr out in Phoenix…Back to Chicago to replace Paxson?
Steve Kerr is no longer the general manager of the Phoenix Suns. He is going to do what most players turn coach or general manager do, commentate games.

What if, he only did this for a year and decided he wanted an office job in the NBA once again? Honestly, he won’t jump back into it in the 2010-2011 season, because most guys like a break, but maybe he would want to come back the following year. This happens all the time in every sport.
Research Proves Wade Wrong on comments about Managments Loyalty Toward Players
I have been doing some research after Dwyane Wade made comments about the Chicago Bulls organization having loyalty issues since Michael Jordan is no longer involved. Wade said Pippen too, but we can argue the claim later.
His statement sparked some interest to see if any players have worked for the team after retirement. I knew John Paxson, Johnny Red Kerr, Norm Van Lier and a few others had returned to work with the Bulls, but I didn’t know the full lineup.

I contacted the Chicago Bulls office, and exchanged emails with Bull’s public relations man, Shaun Hickenbottom. He was able to give me a lengthy list of ex-players who work or have worked within the organization or have been an ambassador for the Bulls in the community.
The Backlash of Wade’s Comments Towards the Bulls
Yesterday the Miami Heat’s superstar guard Dwyane Wade made some comments about the Chicago Bulls being disloyal to it’s past superstars Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
It might have been a good idea to do this before he made the comments.
I think Wade is uninformed. Many Bulls have come back to the organization in some way or another. John Paxson is the current Executive Vice President of Basketball Operation.
There hasn’t been any sign or statement within the organization or from MJ and Pippen proving Wade’s theory true.
Retired Bull’s General Manager Jerry Krause may have had a play in this disloyal debate. Phil Jackson and him didn’t get along. Still, there isn’t any reason to blame an organization for one man, who isn’t even in the company anymore.
Unfortunately, I think this means Wade is not going to come to the Chicago Bulls.
It could be a good sign, because I don’t know if Wade and Rose would have worked well together. They play the same style of game. The bad part is, will his comments and stand against the Bulls influence other free agents. Boozer said he would play in Chicago, but what about Chris Bosh, Lebron James or even Ray Allen?
Vinny has reached his expiration date
Vinny Del Negro is going to get fired tomorrow. After two average regular seasons with 41-41 records, followed with consecutive first round playoff exits, the Bulls are ready to move on to bigger and better head coaches.
Del Negro has one more year left on his contract worth $2 million. The Bulls are making the right decision by ”eatting ” the money and replacing him with somebody who can make a difference.
