Only in your mind, I guess. This is quite strange since I seem to remember right after Game 6 of the Wizards series, in response to your own concocted Skiles v. Gordon feud, you stated your preference for choosing the player in that case. It's curious then that you now say Nash, a much better player than Gordon (no matter how much mud you now throw at Nash), is worth less to his team than Skiles is to the Bulls.

The fact that Phoenix was pretty easily beaten in a conference final doesn't help his case.

The fact that Phoenix wasn't even in the playoffs last year and ended the season with the best record in the NBA speaks to Nash's value. There's also the conference semi-finals in which the Suns w/Nash beat a Dallas team w/o Nash. Whatever suits your argument, I guess.

B. Why should I wait until a new guy is hired? The carrot that ownership repeatedly dangled the past six godawful years was "we'll pay to keep together a winner." Right?

Well, you just said you were a fan of sound financial decisions that produce results on the court. So why are you concerned with how much money Reinsdorf pays the new coach as long as the Bulls improve or continue to play at their current level. And you had no problem judging Cuban's decision based on hindsight; this is a similar type of case. Point here is, if the Bulls hired a cheap coach and their record improved, wouldn't you then be a fan of that decision? That's why you should wait and quit whining, or at least get a position and stick to it.
