What’s worse: having a college poach your coach or having them not even be interested in him?

If the Bulls are even middling, I'll pretty much watch every game. I have a history with the franchise, and also they are my window into the NBA...I'm not logging into League Pass every night.

But I've checked out, which per above is doubly sad for me.

I actually don't think the Bulls, even with the current roster, should be in an irreparable position. However, with AK they definitely are. With this roster, big city opportunity, and even some of the history, an aggressive GM would 1) have the Bulls mentioned when stars opt-out, and eventually land one, or 2) chop of the big-three head and start over with at least something out of that purge plus a decent, not-horrible rebuilding starting point of Coby, PW, Ayo, maybe even Julian Phillips, ALL on cheap salaries, and then rebuilt on top of that.

AK can't or won't do either of those things. As for Billy, I could take him or leave, he's no great shakes but roster construction right now is 99% of the problem.
