If it went down like that, if Krause wanted Wolf but went with Grant because of the majority opinion, then isn't that a credit to him? That he listened to those around him and knew when to trust their judgement over his own.

Again,

In 1986, Krause planned on selecting a tall forward named Brad Sellers in the NBA Draft. Sellers, Krause reasoned, was too good a pick to pass up, as he handled the ball very well for a big man, and also had a solid outside jumper. Jordan, on the other hand, pushed management to take a two-way guard from Duke named Johnny Dawkins. It looked like Krause would take Dawkins even as late as the morning of the draft; the coaches and players had made it clear that they wanted him and not Sellers, and Krause didn't particularly have a problem with Dawkins' game. The Bulls' head coach at the time, Doug Collins, even told Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski the night before the draft that the team would pick Dawkins. However, Krause ignored everyone and picked Sellers anyway

Therefore, isn't it more likely that Reinsdorf said, in so many words, "Hey moron..you went against your whole coaching staff last year when you took the bust Sellers. Since the staff, especially Collins who I respect, is adamanatly against this pick, I'm going to side with them on this one."

That's an interesting way to look at it.
