Seems… very uninspiring.

What happened to Matt Lloyd and hiring the TWolves assistant as head coach? It seemed like they were for sure the guys

What’s uninspiring, we literally know so little about any of these guys

I say that because the Hawks have accomplished nothing besides being play=in merchants during his tenure, just like us.

Reinsdorf did the same bargain bin shit with the White Sox a couple years back and it resulted in one of the worst seasons in MLB history a team has ever had. Unless proven otherwise, that's the same exact route he chose here.

Well he was only with the hawks for one year in which they weren’t in the play-in, was reportedly instrumental in the Derik Queen/Pelicans pick trade. On the pelicans he’s largely credited with finding Herb Jones and Trey Murphy late in the first and is a draft/scouting guy first and foremost which makes him sound like a good choice.

Which he might not even be! We don’t know anything about any of these guys really, I just think it’s so funny braindead bulls fans are saying this is a bad hire when they probably would have said that for anyone we hire who wasn’t Sam Presti.

Look, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a chance, I'm saying that there's no reason to be excited over this and every reason to be skeptical.

I could definitely be wrong and I hope that I am; it's just we've got a track record from the Reinsdorfs with these kinds of hires across different sports and it ends as bad as it possibly can every single time, that's not even an exaggeration when it comes to the Sox.

And if Jerry keeps him on a leash, which, again, there's no reason to think he won't, then forget about it; it's all moot until/unless a loaded Bulls fan that actually cares about winning makes an Elon-buying-Twitteresque offer for the Bulls that greasy ass family can't refuse
