Scottie Pippen has made noise about pursuing a coaching career some day.

In the meantime, the former Bulls star offered some unsolicited management advice for his former team regarding Derrick Rose.

"He's a very exciting player who I love watching play because he plays a lot bigger than his size and doesn't mind mixing it up," Pippen said this week. "I just think you have to put some players around him or he's going to sort of fade away.

"As good as he is, you can beat a dead horse only so much. If he's not motivated here by winning as his career continues, then he's going to start looking at guys like Ben Gordon who made a move [to Detroit].

"Playing this game is a lot of fun. But the meat-and-potatoes of this league is winning. If you're not on a team that's winning, it takes a lot out of you as a player."

What a crappy title for an article. What is up with KC lately? He has to make every article title sound grandiose then you read the article & it's filled with "no-duh" commentary. Big-Time Help? When the hell did Pip say that in the article? Damn KC just write about the summer league & give the Rose needs help articles a rest already.

I'm fairly certain that will never happen as long as Reinsdork is the owner.

I think KC uses something a player says as the title of an article quite often, while not including it in the article.

the writers usually don't title the articles. not that it changes anything.

also...

I'm so sick of the media pandering to those of us who can't let the past go. Does anybody really care what pip has to say? don't get me wrong, he was an incredible athlete but as far as the bulls are concerned, its been 10yrs since he's said anything insightful. Move on people... lest build better memories, not relive the past.

There was a Michael Jordan hall of fame event in Chicago set up by Gatorade, in which they set up like 19,000 bottles of gatorade.

I assume while out covering that, KC decided Pippen's thoughts on the team would be better for an article than the Jordan gatorade display.

Its interesting how people disregard my quotes from Scottie Pippen and others....until he says something they agree with...then they put it in bold letters and try to make a damn billboard out of one quote.

I disagree with fola. I think Pippen has very interesting things to say about the Bulls and the NBA as a whole. If he could articulate his thoughts better, he would have kept his job as ABC...

True, Pip should be in the organization in some capacity, I would much rather have that then Pete Myers.

Pippen told the Bulls what he told other teams, he didnt want to be an assistant coach, he wanted to coach. That is why he didn't have a position with the Bulls.

Diddy, my angry and hostile friend. I just want to point out that KC is not the one who titles the articles. His editor does. KC writes the article, submits it and the editors title it.

That being said, lets let KC off the hook and focus our attention on blood sucking fiends like Carol Slezak

Ok I get it guys, the editor titles the articles, who friggin' cares? The point is it was still a pointless article which did nothing but take up newspaper space & waste the 2 minutes I took to read it. I coulda done something useful like toast a pop-tart with that time.

Oh and a little side note: The title of the article in the newspaper is totally different from the one online, something I have noticed on more than one occasion.

I understand. Really i do. I think I was speaking more in generalities than anything related directly to this post.

You may be right about Pip. In fact zs far as the star players from the last championship, there's probably no one I care for more/respect. But the fact remains, I know he doesnt watch enough bulls games to say anything truly insightful.

How many games does Scottie Pippen have to watch to be insightful?
