Why did Bulls failed this season?
I believe there are three reasons.
One is 2006 summer changes.For a start Bulls traded Lamarcus Alridge for Tyrus Thomas.Alridge was a young rebounder and could have been very useful near Ben Wallace.And even with Greg Oden injured, he supported the Blazers to 41 wins.He is what Bulls need right now.Thomas by the way is still trying to prove himself and can only support the team with his dunks.Next, they set loose Tyson Chandler, now he is the leagues one of the most powerful rebounders and his performance in New Orleans is what the Bulls had expected from Ben Wallace.....They gave him all their money and now only 2 years past, passed he is in Cleveland.
Later on, during 2007 season, Grizzlies were willing to hand out Gasol and all they wanted was Luol Deng.Paxson didn't give him.He can be a good young star but we are talking about Gasol here; a superstar.Risks are to be taken to reach the success.
Even these bad news, they were still a playoff team.The final killing move was the ''Kobe rebellion''.The fans were shouting Kobe! Kobe! Kobe! an-fter each home loss.This demolished the team spirit.Players were thinking about were they on the team's plans?Bull released Skiles.He had nothing to do with this.The team got completely corrupt with the Wallace trade.Its now a complete mess and I really wonder what will happen now?
Second is if you look long before to the start of the 98/99 season, Bulls lost many young stars during the rebuilding.Elton Brand, Ron Artest,Jamal Crawford,Eddy Curry,Brad Miller.... and more.They could have been a team of stars if they had stayed.
The last one is not a mistake of anyone, its a bit of luck.All the 2003 mock drafts were saying Dwyane Wade was going to be drafted by the Bulls.But when the draft night came, Heat made a surprise move by selecting him on the 5th pick overall.They had nothing to do but drafting Kirk Hinrich.
And I made an ''all-star Bulls'' which included the
correct moves in my opinion.Its 2004/05 does not include after 2005.
