In an effort to save money, the Bulls surrounded their important young core with a coach that has failed to develop them.
You can't put all of your chips on players from the draft but not develop them. Outside of LaVine, everyone has regressed.
Kenny Atkinson would be a huge upgrade JUST based everything you said.

At the start of the year, I would have said Boylen definitely wasn't returning.
Now? I think there's a 40% chance he's back. Why?

I think the front office is going to bring in a new GM,
but ask that he consider keeping Boylen on staff. Just watch.
