I remember reading in the Jordan Rules how Jerry Krause was so obsessed with getting Kukoc over that he was willing to risk Pippen leaving by paying Kukoc more than him, despite never having played an NBA game and not having any cash to keep John Paxson around either.Originally Posted by Poetry
Yea, I wouldn't exactly say Krause was a masterful negotiator in getting Rodman off the Spurs for a backup centre, it was just Rodman was a headcase who had absolutely no respect for David Robinson and Robinson didn't have a strong enough personality to keep Rodman in line. Both Jordan and Jackson could and the Spurs unloaded him for whatever they could get, anything was better than having him around.Originally Posted by guy
