That's as ignorant a comment as I have read in some time. What evidence do you have to support that conclusory and naked statement? Is this the same Reinsdorf who gave Michael $35 million for one year's work in 97'-98'? The same guy who gave Jay Williams a huge buyout worth millions after he nearly killed himself on a motorcycle after his rookie year? The guy who just gave Wallace tens of millions of dollars? He lowballed Pippen the entire time. He lowballed Horace Grant, which is why he left when he did. He said he now regrets having given Jordan 33M to play the 97-98 season. He ordered the breakup, b/c he didn't want to pay Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kerr, Longley, Buchelor, etc. He left Krause fire Jackson and he hasn't said he regrets it, the way he has about letting Hawk fire LaRussa. He never did anything when Krause said this to Jackson regarding a deal past 97-98: "I don't care if you go 82-and-0, you're f---ing gone." The only reason Pippen didn't leave despite being lowballed the entire time is b/c he had a great friendship w/ Jordan. We will wait and see what he does w/ Chapu, Deng, and Gordon next summer when they are due for extensions, and Captain Kirk this summer.
