Well, this is what I'm trying to understand. There is a lot of profanity laden anger being expressed over not "landing" The Chip, but before all the media hullabaloo about the Bulls interviewing him, the discussion about Porn Stache Mike as a potential Bulls coach was lukewarm, at best.

I'm talking about fan reaction. If it comes down to basketball reality, we should probably be pretty happy right now.

I always wondered what everybody's obsession with draft picks here was about. This current Bulls team is full of lottery picks already and we're aren't very close to contending. I always thought it was a bit naive to suddenly believe that getting another one would all of a sudden turn us into this huge contender right away. But after all this Reinsdorf stuff, I finally understand the obsession with draft picks & the lottery...

Exactly what I've been suspecting.
People can disagree strongly with the decision, but it seems like a basketball decision (or lack thereof) to me.
