Full Version: Pax goes on North's show
TalkBulls Forums > Nothing But Net > Bulls Talk

The good folks over @ Blog-A-Bull have a good summary and a link to a radio interview with Paxson on the status of the team.
QUOTE
Here's a short summary of Pax's comments:

On trades

* Says that Lakers were never really interested in trading Kobe. Said that the Lakers ultimately had control of everything despite talk of Kobe asserting his muscle on things.
* Agrees that having a superstar is important but the deals are hard to make.
* Bulls were in the mix for Garnett and he thought they had a chance but it didn't work out. Alludes to problem of giving up too much for 1 guy.
* Dismisses talk of him being too in love with the team. Is not afraid to pull the trigger if he needs to.

On Skiles

* He talked to Skiles personally about his harsh comments about TT and said he was right to apologize.
* Hinted that his relationship with Skiles has been tested as the loosing has continued, but no indication that he could be fired anytime soon.

On players

* Guys have to step up and play at a consistent level every game
* North called Pax out about Hinrich and Wallace's poor play.
* Wallace's standard has to be double digit rebounds every game.
* Has no answer about Hinrich
* says TT needs to play with the effort he had in 2nd half against ATL every night.
Chicago Bulls Franchise
I just knew he said something to Skiles about TT, and I'm kind of surprised that the Kobe deal wasn't really much but a KG deal was, hmmm...

Well difference is they were able to keep their best player(Pierce) and add another star in Allen. We would of lost Deng and didnt have what it took to get Allen either.
