This has been the #1 problem for he Bulls, and the #1 reason why it's such a struggle to improve the team.
Jerry Reinsdorf is willing to pay top dollar to bring an elite player to Chicago. He has not, however, been willing to pay top dollar to assemble pieces around an elite player. This is why MJ was so frustrated playing here.
Any potential superstar choosing to sign with the Bulls comes here with the knowledge that they will carry the load on their shoulders. The Bulls will not spend extra money to bring multiple superstars here. This attitude may have changed during the mad rush for LeBron, Wade and Bosh, but the perception of the Bulls has not changed.

Nobody said anything about Dunleavy being a starting SF on a championship contender. Never said that. Don't know anyone who did. Can you please explain where you got that argument from?

Dude, was Ben Gordon's name brought up at the damn press conference? If so, by who, so I can write that publication and ask why he has a job...

I have often wondered if having the same owner for 2 different teams in the same city is a good thing. While realizing the Bulls and WS are 2 entirely different corporate entities, one still cannot help but wonder if spending considerations are related. I had a familiar sinking feeling after the Sox spent $$ in FA that the Bulls wouldn't be writing any huge checks.

LOL...one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Totally different financial models. Can't compare spending in one sport to spending in the other.

I don't think MJ was frustrated with the Bulls over money and their willingness to spend.
I also don't think that is the team's problem. Over the past 10 years, the Bulls have put together and maintained nice teams that would make good supporting casts for a superstar...but there was no superstar. It was FINDING another superstar, not paying for him, that was the problem.

If it was your $$ financing both franchises, wouldn't you take this into account when making financial decisions?.
I would.

Great point. The Bulls have been the subordinate franchise in terms of spending priority for Jerry.
Baseball will always come first as long as he has anything to say about it.

I was saying "shit like this" on a Bulls forum before you showed up here. Its goofballs like you who show up, with nothing to say, all attitude, thinking you can dictate how a Bulls fan should act/feel/post...
But I will take your criticism to heart though. If anyone around here knows how to write dumb shit...its you.

Gordon isnt the only reason i say that...its several other issues and not all involve $$$...i brought up a few in another thread i also forgot to mention Lu's spinal tap situation which was handled poorly by the org
now Deng is speaking out about how he never asked for 15 million and the Bulls didnt even want to negotiate a deal and then called him up (not his agent) 3 days before he was traded and offered a 3/30m deal and told him to take it or leave it

The Bulls have built up Cap Space many times over the last decade and have tried to throw MAX level contracts at TMAC, Grant Hill, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and others.
There may be a perception issue with the Bulls, but I don't think its an unwillingness to pay superstars big $$$.
Recently, they locked Rose up long term for big $$$ without seemingly any hesitation.

Maybe Gordon and Deng will be on the same team again and kick the Bulls ass to sock it to Pax.
How would that make you feel?

How YOU perceive the Bulls, based on your rather insipid, sad Ben Gordon fetish, isn't how Kevin Durant may perceive the Bulls or how Lebron James may perceive them. Kobe Bryant definitely doesn't perceive them that way. I have talked about the deal for Joe Johnson that was on the table in the summer of 2010....and why it didn't happen.
Now if you think Dwight Howard...for example, shunned Chicago because he didn't like the way they treated Ben Gordon or even Pax's issues with Vinny...you are absolutely fooling yourself. The Bulls have had this problem for a while, predating the current regime.
