    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Two people tried to take money from Eddie Robinson this summer. One succeeded and one failed.

    Bulls general manager John Paxson fined Robinson $50,000, apparently for failure to return phone calls. Robinson said he did not appeal the fine with the players association.

    "You want my money like that, you can have it," Robinson said. "Fifty-thousand for not returning a phone call, that's crazy.

    "I can understand where he's coming from. It's a new season, a new outlook on things. You can't get mad at him for trying to find me all summer. I have no disagreement with any of that."

    Robinson stayed in Chicago for most of the summer and estimated that he worked out at the Berto Center at least a dozen times. But the lack of communication must have frustrated Paxson.

    "From Eddie's perspective, he had a few issues that he had to take care of," Paxson said Thursday. "I don't want to make an issue of it starting camp."

    It's not as if he doesn't have the money [​IMG] The article also mentions how he was nearly robbed.
