Krause, 64, was a two-time NBA executive of the year who played a major role in building the Bulls' world championship teams of the 1990s. "The rigors and stress of the job have caused me some minor physical problems in the past few years," Krause said in a statement. "Those problems can be eliminated if I lessen my load for a while and concentrate on overcoming them. My first obligation is to accomplish that for my wife, children and grandchildren."</div>
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "Big D":</div><div class="quote_post">Ouch, that's cold.</div> Well, I don't mean that it's cool that he might be having health problems. I mean it is cool that there will be a new Bulls GM in the near future. I actually don't believe that he's stepping down because of health issues, but rather was given the option of stepping down or being fired and he chose to resign.
