Paxson Out?
Peter Vescey is reporting that Jon Paxson might not get the chance to screw up the Derrick Rose era. After the trade deadline, Paxson is supposedly going to resign his position as GM and the rumor is that Doug Collins might take over as the GM/Coach.
It's about time. Paxson took over one of the best situations in the NBA and turned it into an absolute cluster fuck. The best thing that have going for them right now is an absolute miracle, Derrick Rose. I actually think Luol Deng could shine once he gets a chance of scenery but most of the Bulls team is a disaster. And while I like Deng, his contract is, at best, a borderline disaster.
And so ends the bizarro fates of Danny Ainge and Jon Paxson. For the first couple of years I felt like Ainge could do no right and Paxson could do no wrong. But then when they got their best assets, Paxson either dropped the ball or wasn't willing to pull the trigger on a blockbuster deal. Ainge, on the other hand, played his cards perfectly and was Exec of the Year.
The real question now is whether or not the Paxson family has been able to trump the Babcocks are the worst front office family in NBA history.
