Maybe I'm just being cynical, but I suspect Pippen wants to win an NBA
championship for purely selfish reasons, not to win one for the Bulls.  And
his best chance to do that was with MJ.  I suspect his hunger has
diminished some, as it would for just about anyone who has won 5 titles.
He would probably be putting up less stink if a) he were still in a hunt
for his first title, and b) the Bulls didn't appear to so desperately need
him.  I'd be real happy to have him on the Celtics, too.
