Why NBA will rig the draft for Bulls:
• Bulls lost coin flip to Mavs (both 39-43 last year). Mavs got Flagg as a reward of helping NBA viewership by sending Luka to LA.
• Bulls fired front office, showing real change.
• 3rd-largest market stuck in the middle for a decade
The Bulls enter offseason with lottery pick, potential second first-round pick depending on Portland’s play-in performance and potentially $65M of salary cap space, which could be league high. It’s a major market and ownership that doesn’t change leadership often. Attractive job.
@quinnthegm Only thing I’m worried about with that is if they try to cover Summerhall. Not sure if I trust HBO to handle Egg’s potential moral ambiguity.
