I will note one thing though, history suggests that when Paxson is frustrated with something he takes decisive action. The criticism that he's slow to act when he's relatively happy with something may or may not have merit, but one thing is for certain: When he's pissed he's not afraid to break out the wrecking ball.
I have no doubt that John Paxson is extremely frustrated right now. I expect him to do something significant to define the direction of this franchise by draft day and possibly by the trade deadline.
agree 100%, and i'll add something that hasn't been addressed; i think as much as anything he's been frustrated by the complete lack of leadership/ownership by the kids he's felt the strongest about and elected to move forward with. i'm referring to deng, hinrich and gordon. the hindsight group will all use their excellent 20-20 but the results, stats, evidence weren't as clear as they've become and any good gm won't rush to judgment on players. even danny ainge waited 3 years of being a bottom feeder with a star player before pulling the plug. the bulls are in need of a retooling, NOT a rebuilding.
all this nonsense regarding his tenure and how he should be fired isn't going to happen anytime soon; there are good players and keepers in the bunch. as duck stated, he's going to do something decisive and though it might not be soon enough for some (and will likely displease and disgust others), it will be a defining move that will connote a different direction.
time will again tell how successful this will be; i think he's begun to feel his patience isn't going to be rewarded in the way he'd projected.
