There is nothing to not be sure about regarding hughes. The bulls and most of the fans are pleased with what he brings to the table, but they could find a player who does many of the things he does for a much cheaper price. From day one chicago sports media has talked about how great it was to get hughes because his contract will be much easier to deal that wallace's. He makes about 3 mil less and is much more productive. Pax would never come out and agree or specualte this (cause he is such a professional) but he has hinted at it during conferences. Hughes isn't worth 12-13 mil, especially when you have a guy on your roster like sefolosha. thabo has really improved this season. He has been consistent with his shot and on the ball defesivly. He is also a big 2 guard (larger than hughes) that can distribute and knock down the long range shot. Also keep in mind for a
shooting guard hughes can't shoot for shit. He's averaging 37 percent this season and has never gone over 43 for his career. trust me- If Thabo continues to develop like this - hughes will be nothing more than an after thought.
Carlisle- Azyiu- Another thing the media has been on fire about here is the firing of scot skiles. Here is the thing about skile's system.
Everybody needs to be aboard with him. All it takes is one player to not follow along and the system is weakend. That is why he would be a great college coach. In the college game the coach is king. In the nba the player generally make more money and feel they utimatly have control. Which is fucked up in its own right, but that is another debate. that being said- don't blame the bull's disapointing season on skiles. It is not his fault. Blame the players. They let stupid trade rumars get into their heads. They let money get in the way. Inuries happened- but like you and I always say, that is just part of the game. But the other two examples should not be. Unlike their coach- they did not behave like the professionals that they were supposed to be. Skiles did everything he could to right the ship, utimatly he went to pax and said that this team was not listening and maybe needed a new voice. He was then fired. the players let their egos control this season, which is bullshit. these guys' have done nothing to garnish having egos. They haven't won anything. They are headed to the lottery- but keep this mind. Skiles would have at least given that team a .500 season and another playoff push. Boylan could't even keep this team within contention.
