    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Life is good in Chicago, where the Bulls already had the consolation prize sewn up (New York's No. 1 pick in the June draft) and now have the prize as well after snatching the East's final playoff berth away from Orlando and Philadelphia.

    But I'm told that general manager John Paxson, nearing the end of his third season in charge as Jerry Krause's successor, didn't need a second successive trip to the postseason to ensure his continued presence running the Bulls.

    Industry sources say the Bulls and Paxson have the framework in place for a long-term contract extension as they enter a critical summer for the franchise. With significant salary-cap space as well as the Knicks' pick, Paxson has the flexibility to be a major player on the summer trade market no matter what happens for Chicago in the post-season. </div>

    We better keep him, Paxson is climbing up as one of the better GMs out there.

    Paxson did an amazing job. The only thing that sucks is that he managed to be a major offseason player in a year where both the draft and free agency seem to be relatively weak.

    Imagine what we could be doing this summer if next year's draft were held this year. (i'm salivating at the thought right now...)
