Your question should be amended to If Bulls had never traded for Pippen and drafted Grant. This is perhaps the best move Krause has ever made. Yes at that time the middle is not good enough, but packing an eventually-underachieving Polynice for Pippen is a real swap. Grant is a smart big without question, and this allows Bulls to get a true center at Cartwright later by giving up Oakley (though I think it should be better if Bulls could trade another underachieving center in Perdue for Cartwright).
I would say Bulls has been performed quite well in recent drafts, yet it is the management who is less capable to fix those nice pieces into a wonderful puzzle.

The Bulls never drafted Pippen anyways. It was a shrewd job made by Krause that they sent Olden Polynice in exchange of Seattle's no. 5 pick Scottie Pippen.
The Bulls did well in 1987, because the Bulls have enough potent players as starters and back-ups. The starting line-up included:
John Paxson - PG, Michael Jordan - SG, Brad Sellers - SF, Charles Oakley - PF who by the way leads the league in rebounds during this period, and Dave Corzine as Center. Coming of the bench are Scottie Pippen and fellow 1987 draftee Horace Grant. So it was not Scottie Pippen by his lonesome made the wins easy for the Bulls but it was a total team effort.
Research and research well.
Hope this helps.

If it was about Pippen then why The Bulls didn't win any titles in 1987-88, 1988-89, 1989-90? The Bulls lost those three years including having Phil being there coach!
2 easy!
ALPHA WOLF SUCKS!
MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE GREATEST!

it quite is annoying to declare, yet one component is definite, they does not have gained any championships without the addition of Pippen and Phil Jackson. even whilst they lost Horace furnish to Orlando, they did no longer get previous the 2nd around of the playoffs till they replaced him with Dennis Rodman to fill the rebounding void. The middle of those championship communities have been Pippen, Phil Jackson and a powerful capacity forward (furnish 1991-1993, Rodman 1996-1998). it quite is possible they could have communities with prevailing extensive-unfold season documents and make the playoffs, although if it quite is not going they could have any championships without Pippen of their lineup, or perhaps a participant with a matching kind taking part in kind. (i.e. furnish HiIl and Shareef Abdur-Rahim may be the ideal examples.

No they would have not continued to lose for another decade. one, you cannot point out the fact that jordan was there for 3 years and there were still losing. the team was just that bad. eventually they would have drafted someone to compliment jordan. jordan did everything he could to make that team better b4 pippen. when they said he didnt passed the ball, what did he do, he lead the league in assists. then they said he could defend, then he made the all-defensive team for like 5 years straight. like i said eventually they would have gotten someone in the draft, that person just happen to be pippen. i see you said that they went to the playoffs his first year there. well they couldnt get past the pistons for 3 striaght years. then all of a sudden they were able to beat the pistons. so i guess you can say that the bulls wouldn't be able to get past the pistons till rodman got there huh. remember, rodman was in detroit the years that chicago couldnt get past them. but when he left and went to San Antonio, the bulls started winning. So my answer is no. Pippen is good, he is great, but like i said if it wasn't him, then it would have been someone else.
