LAS VEGAS – Jim Boylen had to choose his words carefully, as the Bulls coach admitted on Saturday that what was pulled off this offseason was somewhat unprecedented.
Boylen wanted tougher-minded players added to the roster. He got them.
He wanted competition at the point guard spot. He got it.
He wanted some more raw power around the rim. Meet Daniel Gafford.
Heck, former coach Fred Hoiberg is still waiting for general manager Gar Forman to deliver him a shooter, and Hoiberg was fired last December and is now coaching at Nebraska.
It’s safe to say that the Bulls front office and the head coach haven’t always been in sync with building a roster, going back to the Tom Thibodeau Era and the cold war that the last few seasons turned into.
