Phil Jackson told ESPN 1000 Chicago that the Bulls need to add a lot of pieces around star Derrick Rose if the Bulls want to be a serious contender.
↵"I think they overachieved last year as far as record and how they got to the spots they got to in the playoffs," Jackson said Thursday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "They still have to have some steady shooters from the outside to complement the penetration they have, and then [Carlos Boozer has to have that post-up game that he was brought there to give them.
↵"They just can't be one-dimensional in that regard. They have to have those complementary pieces to assist Rose in his game."
↵Although the Bulls should add another piece or two, they were close to winning it all last season. The other surprise about Jackson's statement is that his championship teams featured one or two stars (Kobe, Jordan, Pippen, Shaq) and were surrounded by key role players. Just ask the Miami Heat what it's like to have a team full of super stars.
