Is he taking AKME with him? If not then it doesn't matter.

I can tell you having lived in Chicago my entire life there's no shortage of people hoping the next guy Reinsdorf turns to is O.J.

It's true, but there would just be a sweet bolt of truth and reality if Donovan walks into their office and says "I'm taking a college job and I'm not bothering with the stupid play in game with this stupid pointless roster"

My inclination is not really, but a question for the insiders ... does multiple coaches turning a job down ever give the next coaches in line some second thoughts? For example, could Brad have theoretically been more interested in Kentucky to begin with but reconsider if staying put makes the most sense after Oats, Hurly, Drew, etc. theoretically decline?

The times I’ve watched the Bulls this year, it seems like Donovan is doing a pretty sound job making chicken salad out of the chicken
that the front office is giving him. Honest question-who would be doing better right now?Big Jack

Yep. Ditto for me. Apologies to those under 35, but the NBA has absolutely been transformed into a totally crappy and unwatchable league.
Hot Take ---- I think it's time to expand the court 5 ft x 5 ft and increase the rim height 1" per year until we hit 10'6 in 2030. (Probably need to then increase it to 11'0 by 2035 or 2040. The current court dimensions were not intended for the superhumans playing the sport today.
As a more relatable analogy, I would suggest that the change we've seen in the NBA All-Star game over the past 50 years (into the product offered today) is a microcosm to what has transpired in the NBA's 82-game regular season over that same 50-year span. U-G-L-Y.
agreed. also, people focusing on the DeRozan/Lavine/Vooch trio as their understanding of AKMEs roster construction omit the predicted (and realized) impact of Lonzo Ball pre injury.The times I’ve watched the Bulls this year, it seems like Donovan is doing a pretty sound job making chicken salad out of the chicken
now, that does not give the FO a free pass for doubling down on the same formula this year knowing Ball was unlikely to contribute.
also, Ayo has clearly been a beneficiary from Balls injury which has been a way for me to salvage enjoyment in watching games this season.
honestly, who here had 15.4ppg on 50/42/82 shooting as a starter in 37games on their bingo card for this year?
Ouch, publically denied the offer.

Not happening, but it would be hilarious if the Bulls made a run to at least a 6 game series in the first round. It would make Kentucky have to wait around an additional week or two (if not more). Good times.
They used to rake leaves for Mike White.
People worrying about Underwood going to Kentucky is like the 72 Dolphins worrying about an NFL team going undefeated when they starts 7-0.
Sure it could happen. But we are a long ways from that and it is still very unlikely.

Really? Over Miller, over BU, over Beard, etc?
Yes ... It's about fit ...
Kentucky recruits itself ...
Golden can really coach ... SEC experience ... Young ... Would energize the fanbase ...
I wouldn't hire Beard for any job if I was the one making the hire FWIW ... Genuinely don't care for the guy and that was before what happened ...

Would you prefer Golden to Miller if BU left?
No ... Sean would be a PERFECT fit here ...

Based on what I have read online recently, a lot of their fans would react to Golden as if they had just hired John Groce

I'm very with you about different jobs being right for different people and Miller does seem like a good fit here.
Golden, man, I dunno. It's a fine resume and all for a young guy, but certainly lacking a breakthrough.
UK has the most delusional fans on the planet ... I also never trusted Mitch to get his top target when Cal eventually left or was fired ...
Lot of coaches are not big fans of that dude ...
Mitch and Brad would probably not get along ... And that MATTERS ...
People can talk about facilities, NIL and all this other stuff ... Brad's relationship with Josh is the MOST important thing that we have to offer ...
Coaches win games ... Administration wins championships ... PERIOD ...
