I hadn't read it anywhere. Don't think he cares for Boylen but this sounds like an ultimatum.

FF is the only person in the state to think this guy is worth a fuck.

Can't blame him, but it's kinda funny.

Might be the Boylen effect.

What player wouldn't want changes? Maybe Levine since he's getting paid and can do whatever he wants. Laurri and the other youngsters need a good 2nd contract and it's not going to happen for any of them the way it's going. I mean, they could suck and that's why, but might as well change coaches.

I would be worried about him if he didn't want changes.

you cant afford to let young talent just leave. his value to a championship team is still unknown. coaches especially a universally panned one like boylan not worth keeping over talent

Good leave. Cannot stay healthy. Cannot shoot when healthy.

Too many ready to give up on him. I want to see him under a competent coach before I am ready to see him gone.

I want to see him hit a three point shot and get some muscle tone.

No doubt he needs to be better. I thought he looked like he added muscle this past year. But he does play weak at times.

Exactly. Despite mounds and mounds of qualitative and quantitative evidence that this team blows top to bottom, as recently as a year ago the owner says "huh? I don't get why the fans don't like us".

Wasn't Michael Reinsdorf quoted in the papers as saying he didn't know why bulls fans were angry and they GarPax did a wonderful job? If they want Forman gone they could have done it a long time ago. Won't believe it till I see it.

Here's what I was looking for. it's a year old but still ridiculous now and at the time:

Quote:

If we look at Lauri Markkanen, if you did the 2017 draft over again, Lauri in theory could be the No. 1 pick in the draft. You might say Jayson Tatum or Donovan Mitchell. But Lauri could be the No. 1 pick. That’s how good that pick was at No. 7.

Quote:

We’re always spending money in this organization — not just on our players, coaches and basketball operations staff. We spent over $30 million to build the Advocate Center. We added Doug Collins, a full-time physical therapist, a full-time nutritionist

Quote:

Will John Paxson and Gar Forman be back next season?

Absolutely. We believe they’ve done a great job.

Quote:

I know that in this market, with some of our fans and some in the media, they look at it differently. That perplexes me.

Quote:

Lauri was almost player of the month for February.

Quote:

How do you react to anyone who expresses very strong dislike for John and Gar and wants them fired?

It’s hard for me to see people that I admire and respect get criticized. They have families. They have given a lot to this organization.

Quote:

As for Gar, he has been with our organization since 1998. I listen to sports radio sometimes — yes, I sometimes do — and I’ll hear people say, “I don’t trust Gar to make the right draft choice.” That is really confusing to me.

Screw this guy.

I am not sure this guy can end up being good, but we deserve to see him under a real coaching staff first.

He's been a pretty big disappointment so far.

Why would it be determined at this point? It seems like they’d see how he looks in a new system before writing him off.
