Bulls GM John Paxson to quit? It's getting interesting

Huh?

Just when things were beginning to get more interesting, the John Paxson is about to head out the door, according to leaguewide reports. Sounds inconsistent.

Even if the former Bull were to head out the door in quick fashion, why would he do it after the trading deadline? Why not wait until the end of the season to not disrupt the team or shower incessant questions on the franchise?

But, these days, teams are hiring a rookie coach for no reason. Just how far have the Bulls fallen? They were the Portland Trailblazers lite in 2007, with young promising talent, defeating the defending champions in the first round of the playoffs.

We know the story now. There's no direction or identity on this team.

Paxson, who has been nationally and locally roasted, is not a terrible gm but not a terribly good one either. He panicked by firing a very good coach in Scott Skiles in 2007 and did little to land anyone via trades.

His biggest move could come in the following days, and who knows if it even involves anyone on the court?
