got extremely lucky that Pippen signed a terrible deal that allowed them to pick up other pieces to win. If they had paid Pippen what he was worth, Jordan would have either had to take a pay sizeable decrease to get guys like Rodman, Kukoc, or Harper or tried to win without those guys.
Pippen's salary went up around $9-10 million a year after he left the Bulls. If the Bulls hadn't lucked into an absolutely steal, I'm not sure they win more than 4 total championships. It's definitely still impressive though but Jordan did luck out a little there.
