His cheap ass his cant get any help for the Nets i was listeing to some anyastilts talk about the best teams and he said the deeper the bench goes the deeper the team goes, we let players like mikki slip away mikki would be so dirty to start or even on the bench, kristic is a **** bum what sense is it to keep him hanging around hoping hell produce...my advice start getting on thorn to start re signing some **** players like k mart and moore and stop bitching for trades theres no way in hell we can go deep this year and there is no way were getting shaq or any type of blockbuster trade...**** it

1.Thorn isnt the one thats investing the money on this team its Rathner and Jay-z.
2.Yeah loosing Mikki sucked but there is no chance in HELL he deserved that 18m he got from Sac.
3.Nenad is an amazing player I have no idea what youre talking about.
4.Toronto has just about the deepest bench in the league, how good did they do last year in the play-offs?
5.K-mart is only a system player and true is sucked to lose him but max contract? HA dont make laugh.
6.Thorn got us RJ,Vince,Sean,Marcus,Boone and Kidd WTF?
7.And just so you know he drafted Jordan who was you know only the greatest player ever.

I wouldn't really give him any credit as MJ was a lock to be a top 2 pick but the blazers messed up so it was a given he was gonna be drafted by the bulls. Hell if it were mchale running the bulls in the 80's even he would have drafted MJ with the 3rd pick...

Frank does suck, that is true
Kristic is gonna be a bigtime center in a year or 2 20pts and 7rpg
mikki is good WITH J-Kidd, what as he done in Sac, that would be 12 mil for 2 bigman who are below average
K-Mart was a favorite, he had his days and kidd made him look like an all-star, he wanted likr frakin Kobe money where he only averaged 16pts
I do have a feelin will make a big trade, if not we get kristic back and come playoff time he'll be in form
And we can go deep in the play-offs if golden state beat Dallas, we can beat the celts or detriot
Dont forget when kristic was healthy we finished 3 in the east behind Miami Colds and the Detriot pistols

You should give him a LOT of credit.
Since Portland had Drexler, they were expected to take Bowie. Thorn was besieged with offers for the pick. Thorn refused to trade the pick.
Two months later, Jerry Reinsdorf bought the Bulls. He immediately fired Thorn & replaced him with his close friend Jerry (Jelly Belly) Krause - who was scouting for the White Sox, which Reinsdorf also owns.
Thorn never enjoyed the draft choice that he wouldn't trade. That was the key- he refused to trade the pick. This Bulls fan will forever be grateful to Rod Thorn.

The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.
