With Cowley his biases are evident when it comes to Reinsdorf owned teams. Did the same thing with the White Sox. It's obvious who his sources are because he never criticizes them for anything.

I don't mind criticism of the local teams but the Bulls aren't the train wreck that everyone keeps painting them out to be. I'm not that hopeful for the future given where they are at currently but they aren't the worst franchise or even the bottom 10. They are on course to make the playoffs.

I don't know what people thought they were going to get anyway. The Bulls only have one asset with value and that is Butler. They weren't going to get two top first round picks for him and it is likely that they wouldn't have gotten one.

Cowley is too predictable as a writer.

What is the likelihood that Cowley will use it as verification of Bulls ineptitude?

That could be true, I heard it from Kap, he seems to repeat horseshit he read on Twitter as facts.

Best part of the Paxson's press conference was how he's now trying to blame Thibs for the McDermott debacle:
This is some of the most condescending, passive aggressive bullshit I've read from GarPax, and it's not like they've been lacking in that area over the years. It's always the fault of someone else.

As the Reinsdorf's are too predictable as owners

I'm out.

The Bulls are a backdoor organization no doubt. I think Paxson was returning the favor for Thibs and his people leaking information regarding wanting to draft Draemond Green.

I don't really follow his Bulls coverage, but this was definitely true when he was on the White Sox beat. I wasn't sure whether he was a sports writer or Ozzie's press agent.

He did most definitely come across as Ozzie's publicist and I hated him, I think he learned that was a huge mistake and real unprofessional after Ozzie went to Miami and didn't return his calls..he's a much different journalist now, he's pretty good.

Except the Green stuff is precisely why Paxson's excuse-making here isn't really believable. The same front office that was insistent on Marquise Teague over Draymond Green, even going so far to fire Ron Adams in part for his criticism of their choice, was now suddenly into deferring to the coaching staff? McDermottt couldn't even find the floor often under Thibs (hell this was one of the many reasons these clowns put forward for firing him!), yet we're supposed to believe he was chomping at the bit to pick him and demanded they trade up to do so?

right, because a defensive minded coach wants someone who plays 0 defense
