At 1-5, the Bulls have not started the season the way they were expected, but for the moment John Paxson hinted that no moves to shake up his roster are imminent, although head coach Scott Skiles may shake up his lineup.

"After what happened right before training camp with all the [Kobe Bryant] rumors out there, to start more would be a really bad thing," GM John Paxson said. "I'm not going there."

In other words, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune writes, it's on the current batch of players to dig themselves out of this mess ? for now.

"I evaluate every day," Paxson continued. "Time will tell what direction we need to go."

A lengthy players-only meeting called by Adrian Griffin is a start. So are lineup changes, with players confirming Skiles began looking at some of several different combinations in the first of three practice days before a six-game trip begins Thursday night in Phoenix.

"We're not going to do anything crazy," Skiles said. "But is 1-5 the right time? 1-9? It's not even so much the record. It's the way we've played. This is different than wanting to hold, say, two guys accountable or anything like that."
