    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">According to a report in the Chicago Sun Times, Scottie Pippen was not expected to show at the Berto Center when the Bulls open training camp Monday with media day and may announce his retirement as soon as Tuesday.

    "He was holding out on announcing his retirement because he was hoping to get a chance to end his career coming off the bench for a contender," a close friend told the Sun Times. "He feels he can still contribute playing limited minutes on a better team that would not need him to play as much. But since nobody else has expressed interest, he's going to call it quits."

    The Bulls will retire Pippen's 33 sometime this season.</div>

    Scottie was the man or at least the man next to the man and had a great career. I also wish him the best but I wish he would waive the last year of his contract I mean really whats 5 mill to him? I bet we will see more of Scottie in some capacity probably somewhere in the Bulls front office gotta make him earn that 5mill some how.
