The bulls so damn cheap

Seems like something else going on. Bulls just cleared out a front office and training staff. That was money. As far as k.c idea of paying all these coaches they could simply fire boylen and promote his staff make the assistant the interim for a season. Then look for a coach after that.

But that was what, first week of April, before people realized we'd be in the house for likely the rest of the year and the league and the owners' outside interests was going to lose a shyt ton of money.

If we keep Boylen, it'll be a combination of being cheap and Reinsdorf/Pax wanting to keep Boylen. That was the report after the new GM was brought in, that those two wanted to keep him.

A theory I heard was that the reason Reinsdorf even signed off on this front office change was because he saw how the team is had been starting to struggle to sell seats. Since it's likely we'll be having no fans for the 20 - 21 season period the Reinsdorfs are hesitent to pull the trigger to pay two coaches while at the same time profits are lower than they've ever been.

But wouldnt keeping boylen also hurt the bulls ability to sell season tickets, seats considering across the board fans want him gone?

We got a guy that just turned 25 putting up 26/5/4 that is probably willing to walk if we don't get the coaching situation right.

You would think so but I could easily see season tickets being sold just because people miss watching live basketball. I see them giving him another chance to see if he and Karnisovas could get on the same page. It's the most low risk move they have financially and allows them time to evaluate whos the best hire.

I don't like it but it is what it is, there's a lot of reasons why we'll probably have boylen for half of next season atleast

Boylen being kept would be a disaster, the entire roster hates him, that should be enough, without even getting into his coaching acumen

I'm hoping the chicago bubble they been insinuating will take place happens. The bulls getting smacked around in their city in this bubble and putting boylen poor coaching back in the spotlight will mount too much pressure from fans and media and now way they keep him after that.

I don't think you need to give the worst coach in the league more time to evaluate potential hires.

They know who is out there.

Boylen has done absolutely nothing to support bringing him back.

You want to change the image of the team, get rid of the incompetent coach that the players hate and guys on other teams were laughing at.



Look at this shyt.

Agreed. I'm looking at it from the the Reinsdorfs stand point though. From the very beginning Boylen showed nothing yet they locked him up for 5 years. They've always operated with the money first mindset and that hasn't changed despite them frontin to regain the support of the fanbase. Still business as usual.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Gafford shytted on Boylen. A second rounder. How can they justify keeping this dude. Conventional wisdom is they are waiting for the bubble to end before making an official move. I’m praying that’s true. Cause no GM/VP of operations is taking a job where he can’t choose his coach off bat. Arthur is smart enough to know retaining boylen kills current team morale and makes it harder to obtain assets in the future. And I thought the Reinsdorf son was running things?

 

[El Jefe]

Krause took the heat around the Last Dance but Fact of the Matter is Reisndorf signed off on the BS to get tim floyd in

From tim floyd , to fred hoiberg to jim boylen @ the end of the day its Jerry that has continued to prioritize company men, with lack of coaching talent and signed off on these horribles Coaches decisions
Over player talent .

Im startin to actually wonder was it Jerry Reinsdorf that probably fed Krause that "organizations win Line and mentality "

Bulls players concerned they aren’t being heard by the new front office

As one Bulls player told the Sun-Times on Wednesday, however, the growing concern is no current player is really being listened to. LaVine, several veterans, a seemingly disgruntled rookie, no one.Fair or unfair, the locker room is not completely sold that current head coach Jim Boylen is the guy for the job moving forward.

It’s been expressed very publicly by the likes of Denzel Valentine and second-round pick Daniel Gafford, and it’s also been expressed privately with the Sun-Times reporting that several key players were very open with executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas in initial conversations that went on when Karnisovas was hired, painting a very mixed review of the job Boylen had been doing.

Add in the fact that Reinsdorf has recently been very open with the money he’s going to lose between the Bulls and the White Sox because of the coronavirus, and while it shouldn’t come down to finances and Boylen staying – especially with the believed $3.2 billion value of the Bulls — it very well could.
