Another day, another new season low for the Bulls. As if an effortless performance in Orlando wasn’t bad enough, what happened after the game was even worse.
Two newspapers reported Noah and Wallace had to be separated by Luol Deng in the visiting locker room in Orlando. The clash apparently was sparked by the antics of Wallace during the Bulls' loss to the Magic. At one point, with the Bulls losing by 28, television cameras picked up Wallace laughing on the bench.
The Bulls have many problems, but Wallace is their biggest. His four year-$60 million contract will go down as John Paxson’s greatest mistake. Even worse, Tyson Chandler is thriving in New Orleans, developing into one of the NBA’s best big men. Oh yeah, and he’s eight years younger and six inches taller.
Wallace has to go. I realize it’s hard for people to admit mistakes, but Paxson must realize he really dropped the ball with his big free agent splash.
If anything, this reaffirms my stance on Noah. He’s been incredibly efficient when he’s actually playing, and at this point, Noah should be the starting center. Noah didn’t want to see people laughing with his team getting killed, and you have to like that. As Billy Donavon recently said, Noah just wants to win. Say what you will about Noah, but I find him as sincere as any Chicago athlete in recent memory.
