If I want to recruit someone who has my organization on the short list, I might lean on some influential media-wetworkers to pull skeletons out of the closet and create something from nothing. In this case, something was picked up by a glorified re-tweeter that was already floated by other writers at different points.
Well, it's not *nothing*, but I believe there is some pot calling the kettle here. Quite a few shit organizations, and many of them follow a period of trash with an era of being the among best organizations to work with. Criticisms that are more captain obvious and under the scope now than ever, and really not as relevant with the new faces as they would have been in 2014 or so.
Jerry is the largest owner(not even a majority holder) and head of the owners group on paper. His son, who I'm not sold on, seems to be growing tired of answering for the decisions of the owners group and his father. As a fan, we can only *HOPE* that a lot of things are merely keeping appearances for the old guard and investors group, while real deep meaningful changes happen. All while improving the organization in a way that outpaces all of the other teams that are competitively trying to attempt the same improvements.
If you were looking to grow with a team right now, ok, step back from being a Bulls fan. Yep, this is still a shitty time to jump on board with the Bulls if your stock value is already high. Now, if you were someone trying to prove yourself as a coach, and the Bulls were willing to take a risk on a virtually no-name candidate, this is the time for you to come to a team like the Bulls. And oddly enough, while these two guys are getting attention, both are not particularly big names, just hyped for being at the top of the leaked list. So honestly, Atkinson, Adrian Griffin, are not so good that they are above the Bulls and the shitty past this organization has from ownership. Udoka has been a hot commodity among next-step assistants in the league, so he is one that has the most to lose. But you know what, he's a smart guy, he knows the league better than anyone tweeting or blogging this shit. So if he comes here, that means somehow the Bulls managed to convince him they are not a team to stay away from.
