I think Reinsdorf got it right hiring a former player in Chris Getz to be the Sox GM. Getz made a great hire in former player Will Venable to be the manager. Gotta do something similar with the Bulls. Hire guys that know what its like to play at the highest level and what it takes to attract, evaluate, and develop the right types of players.
Bulls in the Finals Next Year 🌪️
Holding on to a legacy of Michael Jordan, which was almost 40 years ago and Derrick Rose, which was more than 10 years ago makes you a terrible organization so no they don’t deserve to be put in the same category as the Lakers and the Celtics stop it
As a huge Bulls fan, no lies were detected here. We deserve better
We all know who the real problem in Chicago is: Reinsdorf
Man Perk is 100% correct!
Praise The Lord!!! 🙌🏽I never liked Donovan from Day One!!!! But knowing the Bulls (and being a lifelong Bulls fan), they're gonna most likely F up on the next coaching hire!!! 🤦🏽♂
I don't even know bulls starting five
The Chicago Bulls owner should step down instead of Billy Donovan. It's not all Billy's fault
They needed to clean house after those horrible trades secondly bulls got cap space also 2 first rd top 15 picks
Bring back Tom Thibideau
Bulls are a sad organization. A coach would rather quit than stay 😢
Hit the road Jack don’t come back no more. Finally he’s gone
the NBA is better when the Bulls are relevant/in the playoffs! They need to fix this FAST.
The problem starts with a Reins ends with a Dorf… As a lifelong basketball fan it's always sad to see a large market team (like the NYC) that knows they'll make money, but doesn't care anything about the team's legacy. Simple answer >>> sell the team and try something new.
The Bulls are so messed up, even Perk is right for once. Management has always been suspect, but ownership will always be the problem with a multitude of bargain signings, perplexing contracts actually given (Patrick Williams), and dysfunction that has been known for decades, dating back to the Jordan years. This is the only team that can screw everything up even when being obligated to spend 90% of the salary cap.
As a bulls fan the fall happened when they chose the coach over Jimmy Butler, every team in the league was choosing the players over the coach.
Come to Kentucky Mr. Donovan your services are badly needed here.
Agree bulls are irrelevant and I'm a bulls fan, they suck and so does the whitesox AK did suck, but billy didn't sign off on none of those dump trades?
Stopped caring about Bulls once they traded Rose in 2016 even though im from Chicago, Rose is the reason I started watching Basketball as a Kid. Feel bad for people who are fans of the team and stuck dealing with this terrible organization. Ownership is the problem only thing can make them relevant again is winning the lottery and a GM with a brain.
IM STILL A BULLS FAN YALL SINCE 88
Perk right bulls a joke they keep a player for two years than say ok bye they definitely looking like they will be last place for the next 3 years or so
The owner is the problem
Deni Avdija If he's so great why is he on his second team?
Bring back Thibs
The trade of Alex Caruso IMO is tied with resigning Pat Williams as the most egregious of AK’s tenure but doesn’t get the spotlight as much. Any one with basic negotiating skills gets one first round pick back along with Giddy. What a clueless organization.
The Bulls have NEVER been on the level of the Celtics or Lakers.
He should have been fired. He has never had success as an NBA coach. Every other coach they let go way sooner if they struggle like he did
Welcome to the Bulls, Steve Kerr.
This used to be the most feared organization in the sporting world …
Hire sam cassell
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Agree Perk!!
i would still try to Hire Rondo as HC. Also get Scal as one of the Asst
I hope they hire Nico Harrison…just for the memes
You rarely see justice acting so fast after what happened to Jaden.
Hire Pip to be the GM, get Rondo to Coach
The fact that Jordan won 6 rings with that cheap owner is a miracle
The Bulls have been irrelevant for 28 years since breaking up that rock star band in 1998.
Bulls haven't won since Jordan is Mind-blowing. the bulls is just a Filler Team jus meant to act like competition
It’s something about when the players leave Chicago lol! Ayo looks so free and he look so much cleaner lol! Not to say he was dirty but u can just see how much better he looks. Bulls are just a cheap organization. MJ was under paid if we really wanna discuss it lol! I’m happy for Ayo and Coby! Bulls weren’t really trying to build around either one of them.
Billy was never that good of an nba coach. His lone conf finals appearance was thanks to kd, the next 4 seasons were 1st round exits with an mvp Russ, young jerami grant and sabonis, pg13 in his prime, and 32 yr old Melo who was just coming off of a 22ppg all star season.
Whoever built that roster needs to step down
Orlando magic will win a championship before Chicago gets another 😢
That broad needs to stay silent
As a Bulls fan, thank you!
