    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">But the Bulls have been burned before by risking everything on free agency, and it appears the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns have a better shot at Bryant.

    Then again, Paxson likely would jump at the chance to deal Crawford, Fizer and Antonio Davis for Wallace. The Atlanta Hawks' Shareef Abdur-Rahim is another player on the Bulls' wish list.

    "I'm disappointed, and I know our fans are disappointed,'' Paxson said. "But I can't afford to panic. When you look at our two big, young kids, it's hard to make an argument to give up on them. They're still in their infancy in this league.''

    I don't like the sound of Rasheed coming to Chicago, that will just cause more problems for their year. But it will take his salary off the books but I don't see an advantage Portland sees in this deal.

    I don't think Abdur-rahim is going to be good for a losing team like Chicago, he's just goin from one bad situation to another and he's not the type of player to turnaround a franchise. If its Davis for Rahim then go for it for sure but otherwise...just let the youngn's develope.

    I don't like Rasheed coming to Chicago. I do like Reef going there though. Reef's never been a winner, never been to the playoffs, for that matter. But a frontline of Reef, Chandler and Curry could easily top the league in rebounds. And they'd easily have that scoring punch at the 3 that they've coveted.
