P.J. Brown's Silence Might Say More About the Chicago Bulls Than Any Words Can

P.J. Brown is now a Celtic. P.J. Brown has also never won an NBA Championship. It stands to reason that he would like to win one, which also explains his recent decision to ink with Boston. Of course, it seemed at least reasonably likely that the Chicago Bulls would have a shot at the title, given all the young talent they had acquired. This, of course, was faulty logic, because between a mix of bad signings and the numbness in John Paxson's trigger finger, Chi-town has found themselves on the outside looking in of the contender circle. Brown may have more appropriate words for the team than any angry columnist or frustrated blogger ever could though.

The 15-year veteran has built a strong reputation as a consummate professional. So instead of going into detail about why he was unhappy last season in Chicago, he preferred to avoid the issue.

'I really don't have any comment on the Chicago Bulls,' he said.

See, if you're in a situation where a team hasn't let you down, but just fell short because of bad luck, yet everything, personnel-wise within the organization went well, then you drop something like "The Chicago Bulls are a great organization; I really enjoyed my time there, but now I'm a Celtic and looking forward to trying to win a championship for the great city of Boston." Or some run of the mill yada like that. Instead, Brown said nothing. And to me, it sounds like a really sarcastic nothing the kind meant to imply that if he had hung around Chicago any longer or kept being asked about it, he would probably have something less kind to say about the moves the team made (like dealing Tyson Chandler for P.J. himself and J.R. Smith). So, uh, reporters, keep asking.
