Thank goodness the Bulls gave Chandler away to the Hornets for free, or else things would have been even more difficult.

The head coach of the Chicago Bulls, Scott Skiles, was a very capable coach, ranking second in the Coach of the Year standings in the 04-05 season, losing to the bombshell D'Antoni.

Zhang Yang had heard of this unlucky coach who fell under the "24th's butcher knife" in his past life.

In '03, Skiles took over the Bulls, which had been rotten for 4 years since Jordan's retirement, with a trend towards becoming the next Warriors—tanking year after year, securing high draft picks year after year, picking talented players, only to trade them away after two years when their rookie contracts were about to expire... Elton Brand, for instance, was gifted by the Bulls, and at that time, Skiles was seen as the Bulls management's next scapegoat coach since, in the previous years, several coaches had been replaced, each one ending with the sack due to poor results.
