Pick and Scroll, Scottie Pippen edition.

Your daily (Mon-Fri) roundup of links from around the blogosphere, typically Trail Blazers related. 

• Mike Barrett talks about the new “Five-Headed-Monster” in the front office. In a case of dueling proverbs; while five heads may be better than one, but too many cooks spoil the broth. Or, as my father used to say, this might be a case of “too many Chiefs, not enough Indians.” We shall see which archaic saying proves correct.
• Former Trail Blazer and Bulls small forward, Scottie Pippen is going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame today. Over at the TrueHoop Motherblog, Kevin Arnovitz calls Pippen a “Tastemaker” and highlights M. Haubs of TrueHoop Network sister site “The Painted Area” who argues that how a person views Pippen as a player is a microcosm of how they view basketball.
• Over at Basketball-Reference, Neil Paine says that this year’s Hall of Fame class is the winningest ever.
• Matt McHale at TrueHoop Network sister site Bulls By the Horns asks us to step inside Pippen’s defensive torture chamber.
• My take on Pippen? Pippen was an incredible player by any metric and was arguably just as important as Jordan in winning those six NBA titles. Would Jordan have won without Pippen? Sure, it’s quite possible that Jordan would have won a ring or two by virtue of being the greatest of all time, but six? No. I’d argue that Pippen and Jordan combined in such a fashion that they were just “too much” on both ends of the floor. There was too much defense, too much scoring and passing ability. Jordan on his own took an entire team to stop, Pippen on top of that was the straw that smashed the camel’s back and ground it into the broken legacy of teams like the Drexler era Trail Blazers, teams that were truly great in their own right, but couldn’t make it past the Jordan-Pippen Bulls.
• Mike Tokito of The Oregonian has your NBA High 5
• Sebastian Pruiti of TrueHoop Network sister site NBA Playbook diagrams his favorite late-game deadball plays.
• Mark Deeks of ShamSports identifies creative financing in this year’s NBA contracts.
• Sudden-death-overtime-game-winning-slam-dunk? That can’t be a thing that actually happened; it’s an action flick from the 1980’s starring Dolph Lundgren and The Ultimate Warrior.
• Ken Berger, on the results of the latest CBA negotiations.
• Albert Lyu at Think Blue Crew is trying to win my heart with his 4th part of a series on the value of a blocked shot in which he promises a 5^th part. If Albert starts writing about high and low offensive entropy teams, I may swoon a little.
