So let's see, problems with the concept of this thread:
1. Eddy Curry still wouldn't have taken that test that Pax wanted to make sure he was going to live through his contract.
2. We got a hell of a lot more than PJ Brown and Ben Wallace for Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler. Tyrus Thomas, Victor Khrypa, Michael Sweetney, a bunch of expiring contracts, and still the rights to swap picks with the Knicks this year.
I don't think anyone can fault Paxson for what happened with Curry. Curry didn't want to play for us... and Pax made the best out of a bad situation by straight up robbing the Knicks.
Tyson though, was a lot more questionable. He left for 2 second round picks and cap space. Bulls are the third biggest market in the NBA. They can break the soft cap.... especially if it means keeping a young seven footer that plays with passion and whose only real problems are stupid mistakes that will be corrected with maturity.
Still praying I'm wrong... but I've got a bad feeling I'm not.
