Once again Scoop Jackson submits a piece for the worse column of the year award. This conudrum that was inherited by the Bulls is not one at all.  The question Pax needs to ask himself is "Do I just want to make the playoffs or do I want championships?  The NBA is not the NFL where you must draft for need to fit your team.  Save a few exceptions if you are as bad as the Bulls were last year you need to change the complete direction and ruler of your kingdom. 

Believe it or not only a few teams have an actually chance of winning the NBA championship every year. Yeah the Jazz Mavs, Suns and Rockets are good but what continually seperates them from say the Lakers or even the Cavs. Who's the guy that leads them? Where is your "SUPERSTAR?"  And no all star scorer is not what I mean by superstar. 

Michael Beasley will be an all star.  Not quite sure what he is but he reminds me of KG.  But I'm afraid of Beasley the same way I'm still unsure what to think about Durant.  Both guys could be a transcendent player.  A player able to do everything on the court.  But do either of those have the mental makeup to be the guy.  The absolute aura of being the best player on the court in a big game ala Jordan, Kobe, Bird, and Duncan.    And no Rose doesn't have it now but the glimmer is there.  It doesn't even exsist in Beasley.

So when you have your selection of the incoming crop of players look for the guy that is willing to learn (Duncan), willing to lead (Magic), willing to take the shot(MJ), willing to sacrifice his own stats for the team (Lebron), willing to take the tough defensive assignment in crunchtime (Kobe), the guy that will make your good team great (Rose).
