Link: I'm not going to discuss the Gordon parts, except to say that he's got pretty strong opinions for a guy who claims to let GarPax make the decisions. Most amusingly were his various descriptions of Vinnie: Extreme LOL at him referring to Vinnie as "The novice". Takes me back to the days of playing old Atari 2600 games at novice skill level.
I posted this in the other thread. Agreed that this interview deserves it's own. Let's count the bullshit. "Ben wasn't going to get a whole lot of playing time." "A healthy Luol will be an All-Star." "Gasol made sense for the Lakers because, what is he, their third best player probably?" Reinsdorf don't know shit about basketball. No wonder he was good with Vinnie and Pink Floyd (and Pax and Gar) and threw out D'Antoni and PJax.
By those standards, Reinsdorf's Bulls have failed for 11 straight years. Coincidently, since MJ laced them up. I think it's time he stepped down.
I don't know how Gar and Pax can stand being micromanaged by this fattie. Lets face it, as long as JR is there, we'll never have an all-star unless we draft him (and then even he'll leave). The whole "Ben wasn't going to get a lot of playing time" is complete bs. VDN would have played him 35 min a game this season just because his job's on the line. Just because we have John Salmons doesn't mean we have a BG replacement. Also, I think it's safe to say this will be VDN's last season as part of the Bulls organization unless we make the 2nd round in the playoffs (which we won't).
I don't know how you let yourself do an interview if you can't at least try to speak warmly of your coach. It's not about a vote of confidence. It's about not undermining him going into the upcoming season. I don't think VDN's a good coach, but now his job is all but impossible. If you're not going to give him a fighting chance then it's time to fire him.
