Bulls mailbag: Presti pursuit, Paxson's role and draft talk

Is Sam Presti a target to run basketball operations and, if not, why not? — Don S.

As previously reported, Bulls president and chief operating officer Michael Reinsdorf is doing due diligence on multiple candidates and multiple options. He’s seeking feedback from a wide variety of sources on a wide variety of candidates. Surely, the Bulls are performing due diligence on big names like Presti and Raptors president Masai Ujiri. Talk around the league is that the Raptors wouldn’t let Ujiri go but that Presti is so close with Thunder owner Clay Bennett that Bennett would let his friend pursue other opportunities if Presti wanted.

What’s unknown is whether Presti would want to leave the Thunder, particularly after setting the franchise up for the future with multiple first-round picks from the Paul George and Russell Westbrook trades. And it also should be noted that the Bulls historically have not operated as a big-spending franchise when it comes to management. It would take upwards of $9 to $10 million to even get Presti to the negotiating table. The sniffing around I’ve done on this story leads me to believe that that’s not a route the Bulls plan to take. Things can change, and this process is a fluid one. But my educated guess is the Bulls will hire multiple people for a restructured front office and spend their money that way.

Coby White seems like the type of player who makes a terrible decision 3 times in a row & then on the 4th attempt succeeds and starts all over again.

That’s why I question long term of whether he can be a starter for a contending team. He seems better suited as a spark plug off the bench because of his inconsistency.

he just turned 20 a few weeks ago, of course he has been inconsistent. odd timing to post this considering the past 8 games he’s starting to look legit and just won rookie of the month
