Jerry Krause gets WAY too much blame for dismantling the Bulls and nowhere near enough credit for assembling them.
And that said, who's to say they weren't done as a group anyway? Pippen's constant harping about his contract wore on everyone, Jordan seemed like he was definitely ready to walk away again, and I'm not sure if Dennis Rodman would have been able to keep it together for another season. Not to mention Phil Jackson, while a terrific coach, is a master media manipulator and a nightmare for front offices, particularly his own. (See: Kobe drama.) The Bulls were going to implode at some point regardless. And keeping them together for one more year would have been damn near impossible given how much they would have had to pay Jordan and Pippen alone. Not to mention PJ, Rodman, and whoever else were free agents that off-season.
