Price: You are correct that Pippen does not want to win a ring riding on Shaq and Kobe's coattails. It would mean more to him to win a championship in Portland where he has established himself as a team leader. It is unfortunate that he his season was interrupted by a knee injury with so little time left in the regular season. Had he stayed healthy and been able to play at the level he was playing at just before the All-Star break, I'm sure the Blazers would have easily finished with the West's No. 4 seed, if not higher. Then, who knows? Coach Cheeks certainly wants Pippen back and recognizes the value he brings to the team as a player and leader. I also have heard that there is a possibility Pippen could look at going back to Chicago. Now that Jerry Krause is out and Pippen's friend John Pa son is heading up the Bulls' front office, PIppen might consider going back there with the understanding that when he is done playing there will be a front office job waiting for him. My best guess s that if Pippen is able to play -- the condition of his knees being the biggest question mark -- he wil re-sign with the Blazers. Of course, much depends on who the Blazers bring as their new GM. W ll that person want to remake the team? If so, how drastic will the makeover be? Stay tuned.

Go! Scottie ! --
