However, it is possible that what other teams are offering Chicago for
Pippen doesn't interest them, whereas #3 & #6 do.  In turn, the same
thing Chicago doesn't want may interest Pitino and cause him
to trade Pippen over afterwards.  For instance, what if Chicago doesn't
want Shawn Kemp, but Pitino does?  Just a thought.

Let's see what the coach is up to before assuming he's running us into
the ground.  I'm sure he's got a plan and will be very creative.
