There really isn't any other choice, is there?  If this season is going down in flames, we might as well make it entertaining.  This Bulls team has struggled so mightily, both on the court and off, that the masochist in me says why not see how fall we can push this envelope of insanity. 

Signing Oakley to the Bulls roster would be the equivalent of GM John Paxson tossing a live hand grenade into the Bulls locker room.  At 44 years old, the Oak Tree still thinks he can play. 

While Oakley might not start for the NBA's "All-Crazy" team, he's definitely coming off the bench.  And I couldn't think of a better mentor for Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah.  If you're going to fued with fellow players and coaches, then you better learn from a master.  Plus, he once appeared in a music video for Hootie and the Blowfish, at least according to Wikipedia.

As a much needed bonus, Oakley would administer old-school beat downs to any team that dared put on a slam dunk fest during a game (see last night's game in Philly).

His Mike Tyson-esque post-game interviews would be classic.  Back in 2001, Oakley was fined $50,000 for criticizing Tim Floyd following a franchise-worst 53-point loss in Minnesota.  Imagine what he'd say about Jim Boylan and his 4th quarter, lead-killing lineups.

C'mon Paxson, let's make this happen.
