As expected. The bulls are absolutely bungling the most important decision in recent history by letting 2 complete failures hire their new boss during a pandemic creating complete future uncertainty as to what the league is going to come away looking like. Say goodbye to Lauri. What a shitshow. Canidates turning down a video interview. Fucking lame. How hard is it to even just Skype some interest.

Did someone actually say that Paxson is doing this?

according to the story in the Sun Times? Paxson isn't a part of the hiring process. Michael is doing the interviews with Jerry sitting imperiously behind him.

Reminds me of when McCaskeys just hired an Executive Recruiting firm to source a GM for them, IIRC that's how we wound up with Jerry "smartest guy in the room" Angelo.

I heard that Dennis would bring in his buddies to help recruit international players. Don't get too excited, he has only scouted one country recently and they just learned how to stretch enough rat skin to make their first basketball. To which that visionary was then publicly executed for purportedly sculpting the head of the Supreme Leader.

I actually hope the bulls hire a outside firm instead of michael making the hire. If you dont know basketball then have basketball people make the pick.

Yeah, I guess it was kinda of already answered but the trib reported that Gar and Pax are expected to be staying on in some capacity.

"That would remove three of the first four rumored targets from consideration in a search Bulls fans have already met with some trepidation. Vice President of basketball operations John Paxson is likely to remain with the team in some sort of advisory role, even if he reportedly has been among those pushing for an overhaul, and most expect general manager Gar Forman to do the same. "

Whether they are directly involved in the interview or not doesn't matter, it's a noose around any hiring to have to explain to a potential candidate that he's in charge of everything but the two guys that were in charge are still going to be around helping out.

Sure, but I'm not sure what's worse at this point, GarPax making the hire, or the guys who hired GarPax making the hire. There is another organization in that building having similar problems.

I wouldn't worry about someone in an advisory capacity because you can always

Take it under advisement
