Kobe Bryant is the problem. All the rumors about who would be traded to accommodate that head case have affecteded the team. How can you form a cohesive unit when every other day for months half the team is traded to the Lakers or elsewhere? The Bulls could use a scoring power, for sure, but not a non-team player like Bryant. They will settle down and be fine. Skiles can handle this. It would be nice if Ben Wallace started earning his salary, though.
