I don't hate Billy Donovan, but what has he done at the NBA level to get a free pass? Billy sticking around is only going to limit the number of interested candidates. Hoping he makes it easy and decides to pursue other opportunities...

[K.C. Johnson @KCJHoop]

Reinsdorf:If we're interviewing someone and they're not sold on Billy and a Hall of Fame coach and person who has won championships in college and gone deep in playoffs in OKC and, given teams he was given, achieved good results in Chicago, then they're not right candidate for us

[Tony Ruggiero @Tony_Ruggiero]

Even if this were true, these guys failed in every aspect of the job. Missed on most of their draft picks, bid against themself to give Williams $90 million, lost most of the trades they made. The list goes on...

Glad they are gone, but they need to get the next hire right!

Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley felt "constrained" by Bulls ownership during their tenure in Chicago, per @espn

"Karnisovas and Eversley maintained throughout the past few years that they were working under the constraints of ownership, team sources told ESPN. The team's ownership and coach Billy Donovan were hesitant to "tank" in order to prioritize a high draft pick, which, they said, limited the team's options."

Good for Jed and the @cubs for finally paying up and getting their guy.

Now go win the division!

@massey_evan Hoyer getting a contract extension before the trade deadline allowed him to take his foot off the gas, and it hurt the cubs in the end.

Great season as a whole, but had potential to be so much more...

[Tony Ruggiero @Tony_Ruggiero]

I will never forgive Jed Hoyer for cutting this guy...

[Russell Dorsey @Russ_Dorsey1]

Four homers in five ABs.
9 RBIs.
16 total bases.
49 homers on the year.
119 RBIs.
And we haven’t reached September.

Thoughts, Kyle?

When you sweep a doubleheader, you fly two W flags.

My heart goes out to the Sandberg family. Just went through a similar experience with my dad a few months ago, and I would not wish that on anyone.

We lost a good one today. Rest in peace Ryno. Forever a @Cubs legend!

[Chicago Cubs @Cubs]

With great sadness, we share that Ryne Sandberg has passed away today.

[Tony Ruggiero @Tony_Ruggiero]

@ShamsCharania Reinsdorf gets some extra cash. This is the kind of move that gives AK job security 🙄

Attending a home run derby at Wrigley has been added to my bucket list!

I really hoped the days of front office incompetence were behind the #Bulls, yet here they are... 1 playoff win, no plan, and still happy with play-in appearances. Change is needed...again...

[Bleacher Nation Bulls @BN_Bulls]

“That’s worth it for me” - AK on if Bulls make the Play-In.

What a mess.

[Tony Ruggiero @Tony_Ruggiero]

@DCash_2 @NFL_Talk_Sports @Brett__Lyons I will say no, just so I can be pleasantly surprised if it does happen...

[Tony Ruggiero @Tony_Ruggiero]

@DCash_2 @TomerAzarly 🤣 I saw that he contested the shot, but the fact that he passed the ball to him in the first place makes it even funnier!

Back to back years of sub .500 record and chasing a spot in the play-in tournament is apparently enough success to warrant continuity. The lack of desire to do ANYTHING to change it is unacceptable!

Won't be wasting my time or money on this team...

[Chicago Tribune Sports @ChicagoSports]

For the third consecutive year, the Bulls didn't make a move at the NBA trade deadline.

Artūras Karnišovas' fixation on continuity has resulted in a 110-105 regular-season record over the last 2 1/2 years.
