DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) -After a week of rumors that he’d be out after the trade deadline, John Paxson made it short and sweet: He’s not going anywhere.
“I’m the GM of the Bulls. I’m not resigning,” he said Thursday. “I’m here and I’m going to be here, and that puts an end to it.”
“It’s over with. I’m the GM of the Bulls and that’s final.”
Before the All-Star break, rumors flew that Paxson would resign – either immediately or at the end of the season – running the team he won three titles with as a player in the Michael Jordan era.
After making three deals in the past 36 hours, Paxson spoke to the media and reiterated that he’s still the boss.
“I have no control over stories and rumors that are printed at all,” he said. “I don’t feel an obligation to respond every time something comes up about me or a trade or anything like that, so I left it alone.”
