Reinsdorf is also a cheap bastard, which had a lot do with breaking up the dynasty. Pippen signed a bad contract, and while that's his fault and not Reinsdorf's, the deal could have been revisited to make Pippen happy, who had been an amazing player for them. From that article I posted:
"So far in the documentary, Reinsdorf is content to shrug at the strife and chalk it up to strong and strange personalities, deflecting larger reflection to Jerry Krause, who died in 2017 and thus can’t defend the decisions. The biggest backlash on Twitter stemmed from the documentary’s framing of Scottie Pippen’s terrible long-term contract against the terrible hardships his family endured. Reinsdorf came across as unsympathetic in his response to Pippen’s unhappiness, saying he advised Pippen not to sign his career away for seven years, while acting like he didn’t have the power to revisit it, or offer an extension more in line with his value."
Also, Reinsdorf told Jordan he would "regret" giving him a 30 million dollar contract.
Bulls Owner Reinsdorf Once Told Michael Jordan He'd Regret Giving $30M Contract
Can you imagine the amount of money Jordan made Reinsdorf in his first 11 years with the Bulls, having never made more than 4 million in a season? Reinsdorf should have been down on his knees begging Jordan to take the 30 million, when Jordan was worth quadruple that to that franchise.
Sickening stuff. Reinsdorf is the villain.
