Gotta disagree with you on that PJ, and I've been a big supporter of Jimmy.
There's a lot to tell from these recent antics. With all these stories leaking and the ugly truth being put out there, there are some serious underlying issues between both sides, same things we heard from Rose and Noah.
Difference here is that the FO made it clear to Jimmy that this was his team going forward, and Jimmy just didn't know how to handle the leadership role nor has he shown an ability to help develop the younger guys.....literally everyone has regressed.
My stance is the same as it was with Rose and Noah. Once you harbor ill will or resentment you just can't get the millionaires to buy in or roll with the program. Time to cut loose and let guys figure out the grass ain't always greener on the other side.
Jimmy is an All Star Starter and literally a top 10 player. We won't get equal compensation but you can get close. Talk with the C's and see if you can get Jae, Marcus, and the Nets pick, talk with the 6ers see if you can get Oak, and a couple of picks, talk with anyone about multiple draft picks......hopefully Gar and Pax can hit on something, too many bad picks the last couple of years.
Jimmys value will never be higher, and if we wait for too long...the relationship will only sour and deteriorate even further. At that point any leverage will be gone, everyone will know he must be dealt and teams will low ball the hell out of the Bulls.
P.S.
The FO thought bringing that clown Wade was going to help develop the younger guys and teach Jimmy how to be a leader and the complete opposite happened. That female dog showed his true colors and helped create an even bigger divide between Jimmy and the FO. Prob told him how he got finessed by Riley and Co.
