@JonKrawczynski No more Tim Connelly disciples

Wolves GM Matt Lloyd, who has been in the mix for a few lead front office jobs recently, would make a lot of sense. He got his start in the NBA as a PR intern with the Bulls and worked his way onto the scouting side to start climbing the personnel ladder. Highly thought of.

@Tommy_Dobbs @KCJHoop Chicago is a major market, goofy

@KCJHoop Major market? This is disingenuous, @KCJHoop. The Bulls have never acted as a major market team, and have never been and will never be a major free agent attraction.

The Bulls enter offseason with lottery pick, potential second first-round pick depending on Portland’s play-in performance and potentially $65M of salary cap space, which could be league high. It’s a major market and ownership that doesn’t change leadership often. Attractive job.

@SGAisGoated @BobbyMarks42

@realHardEight @BobbyMarks42 If that’s what yalls heart desires. He’s a mid NBA coach.

Chicago will enter the offseason with a lottery pick and projected league high $65M in cap space. A lot of work to do for the new front office.

@sjilzian80 @McGrawDHSports Bob Myers is terrible

@McGrawDHSports God no get rid of Donovan too and get Bob Myers

#Bulls decided to act quickly, just made the firing of Karnisovas and Eversley official. I suspect the plan is to hand the reins to Donovan, let him keep coaching while having greater say in basketball operations. Similar to Miami when Pat Riley coached and Randy Pfund was GM

@KevinOConnor They’re going to hire you. They saw your analytical work with Killian Hayes and Scoot Henderson.

I wonder who Reinsdorf will hire to bring the Bulls back to the middle

@SGAisGoated @BobbyMarks42 He’s going to be the next VP of Basketball Operations

@BobbyMarks42 Billy Donovan is without a doubt next on the chopping block.

@MarkAGunnels Chicago

I want Darryn Peterson in Indiana, Atlanta, or Dallas. Those are my top three options.

@RossRead Big pass on Bob Myers

Welp. I'm sure an extra week of basketball is what took Billy Donovan out of the UNC gig. Now I'm fully prepared for the Bulls to make Billy President of Basketball Ops and Wes Unseld Jr. HC. 🤡🔫

@TheSteinLine @JakeLFischer He was terrible but he left them with cap space, all their draft picks, and potentially the Portland #1 Should be a clean slate for whoever Billy hires at GM

Significant week indeed. The Bulls just announced the dismissal of lead decision-maker Artūras Karnišovas and his top aide Marc Eversley.

@JonesOnTheNBA He put up almost 100 over 2 games with no other threat on his team

What’s so crazy about Flagg is I know he can be a great scorer, but I feel like he might be at his best as a Scottie Pippen/Kevin Garnett/AK hybrid. It’s why I want Dallas to get another scorer in the draft. I would rather see all-around Coop than score 30 nightly Coop…

@vinnymart1995 @JordanRaanan

@JordanRaanan Dexter is at MINIMUM, 2-1sts. This is Dexter Lawrence we’re talking about lol. So if that’s what you’re hearing, then Giants need to just pay him.

Asked around the league and the general consensus appears to be that IF the Giants were willing to trade Dexter Lawrence the return would be in the range of late first-round pick to second-rounder.

The Rookie of the Year odds have flipped in Cooper Flagg’s favor. After his 96-point weekend, Draft Kings has Flagg (-250) over Charlotte’s Kon Knueppel (+180).

@TheSteinLine So Billy has to pick the next GM

The notes column below detailed how the Bulls have strong interest in retaining Billy Donovan as coach no matter what happens with the front office and North Carolina’s shock hiring of Michael Malone would certainly seem to enhance their chances. More: tinyurl.com/4cvpsj9j

@AdamSchefter @mikejurecki @PeteThamel

North Carolina intends to hire longtime NBA coach Michael Malone as the school’s next basketball coach, per ESPN’s @PeteThamel. He’s an NBA Championship coach with the Denver Nuggets from the 2022-23 season and has won 510 games as an NBA head coach.

@BigLarry138 @GermanStrands He doesn’t play on console

@GermanStrands Had to be this dude

One player has already managed to earn the platinum trophy in Crimson Desert and it took them 305 hours. reddit.com/r/Trophies/s/D…

@BullsCentralYT You don’t hold the front office to the same standards you hold fans to. The FO is supposed to know better. If not then, then who?

So here’s the thing, as bad as that contract is now and we can all agree Pat has been a massive disappointment; there has been some big time revisionist history going on here. When the Bulls gave Pat that contract, it was NOT seen as egregious. This is peak prisoner of the moment

@esidery World class coach who deserves better than the Reinsdorfs

North Carolina is preparing to offer Billy Donovan their head coaching position once the Bulls’ season officially ends on Sunday. The Tar Heels also targeted Dusty May and Tommy Lloyd on their shortlist, but they’re now locked in on bringing Donovan back to college basketball.

@xMBGx The internally developed game cadence is basically one game per studio per generation. Sony couldn’t prevent the second party exclusives anyway. Those studios aren’t willing to forgo the opportunity cost of skipping PC, or other platforms.

I'm seeing a lot of people pushing back against, or straight up denying the rumor that Sony is moving away from PC. For those who are unaware, the reports indicate Sony no longer plans to release their internally developed single player games (Ghost of Yotei, Saros, Wolverine etc...)on PC, but instead keep them fully exclusive to their console. However, Multiplayer live service (Marathon, Horizon Hunters Gathering etc...) and second party exclusives (Death Stranding 2, Kena 2 etc...) are still planned to release on PC. Also keep in mind there are multiple credible insiders reporting this. They are sourced, not just made up by random users. So when you see Nixxes Software's description on PlayStation's website stating they still do PC ports, that's why.

@WolstatSun @hoopshype

I still think overall, Knueppel has had the way better season. Flagg will likely be a better player long-term, but I’d have a hard time voting him for ROY over Knueppel’s historic year which includes reviving the hapless Hornets.

@HaterReport Draymonds best friends have been the refs breaking it up before he gets his shit splacked

Draymond Green is a MENACE Bro threw the ball off Jabari Smith’s FACE and got mad when he wouldn’t get out his way “Don’t do that…you not like that”
