    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> It was 25 years ago when the Bulls triggered a major controversy with their selection of troubled guard Quintin Dailey in the first round of the 1982 NBA draft.

    So when barely an eyebrow was raised after they chose Oklahoma State guard and admitted felon JamesOn Curry on Thursday night, it was an indication of how times have changed in the NBA in general and society as a whole.

    In February 2004, Curry was arrested after he attempted to sell marijuana to undercover police officers on school grounds at Mebane Eastern Alamance, the result of a five-month investigation at the request of parents in the Alamance-Burlington (N.C.) district.

    "He has background issues that we brought him in and talked to him about and are satisfied with (his answers)," Bulls general manager John Paxson said.

    Despite his run-in with the law, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Curry had too much potential as a long-distance shooter to overlook at the 51st overall pick.</div>

    Much less of a risk involved in JamesOn than the Titans took on Pacman. We don't even have to sign JamesOn to a guaranteed contract, if he puts himself in a bad situation at any time we could cut him without taking too much of a cap hit.
