On the other hand, nobody was rooting harder for the Bulls to beat the Jazz
than Rick Pitino. Obviously, if Jordan returns and Pippen re-ups (we're
positive he won't accept anything less than a two-year blow-up deal), the
Bulls won't have the financial wherewithal to seduce Antoine Walker a year
from now when the Chicago-bred All-Star becomes a free agent.

Understand this: If the Bulls don't have what it takes to pry away Walker
from the Celtics, he'll stay put. There is no third option. It's either the
Celtics (at roughly $15 million per; unless the salary cap rules change this
summer) or the Bulls at comparable money. And you can quote me.
