Angelo sucks big time but Pax hasn't pulled the trigger on any deals to make the Bulls better.

Considering the payroll Hendry has to work with, he is getting the least value for the dollar. They did make the playoffs though, which is more that you can say for the Bears and Bulls. Williams has a ring and is trying to improve his team, can't really diss him right now.

I asked myself this question and honestly could not answer it..... for me its a 3 way tie between Hendry, Paxson, and Angelo.

Get all 3 of these bums outta town as far as im concerned...at least Kenny has a WS to lean back on just a few years ago.

have to go with Pax. Although I was as fooled as anyone, going into this year, but clearly our talent level had peaked, and while other teams got better, particularly the Celtics and Magic, we sat on our hands. Now we suck. And clearly the decision to draft Tyrus thomas and Thabo Sefalosha over Lamarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy(what Portland did) was a huge nisjudgement of talent.

I think Paxon has done the worst - some bad draft pick decisions, signing Wallace and not doing a trade this last off season.  Angelo just behind in second.

Its not Pax, but when you look at the other 3 options..Pax is the guy.

The same team won 49 games lat year, how is it Pax's fault the team all of a sudden forgot how to play basketball?

I chose Angelo over Paxson, for this reason... Paxson took over shit!

 Angelo made absolutley moronic moves with a superbowl contending team and dragged it down to the cellar because of it.

Benson with the 4th pick was just stupid, the guy had warning signs on him before they even picked him with his personality in question, and his character...not to mention that it was not a need for the team at the time... He neglected to adddress the saftey position for many years,and alos neglected to address key offensive flaws and positions, like WR & the Line. He built a top of the line D for a few seasons, but no offense to go with it.

Angelo gets my nod by just a hair over Paxson...... I dont know what the hell Paxson is doing, but he had it going fine and then dropped the ball by not making a move, and continuing not to make a move.  We lost out on KG, and rumored to have lost out on Kobe because he has this dream that he was going to be able to resign every guy on this team for under market value and keep it under the salary cap, and then having a Jump shooting team magically work.  The guys he took in the draft the last few years were good only if he was going to move them in a deal, if he had no plans on making a trade then he had business at least drafting Aldridge...and the Trade of Chandler was just a joke...the guy had talent, Curry didnt, and im glad he dumped him, but Chandler he blew it!!!

I'm glad someone on here finally admits what I was screaming from day one about Thomas/Aldridge.  However, how did the Bulls take Sefalosha over Roy?  Thabo was the 13th pick and Roy was the 5th  :ponder:
