When can Bulls overhaul their front office? Do the playoffs have to be completed? Will any interviews or hires not happen now until August or September? - @ashamedbullsfan, via Twitter
First, that’s a pretty amazing Twitter handle. Second, this is one of many, many subplots to the great unknown the NBA is experiencing.
The Bulls can ask for permission to interview candidates whenever they want. In fact, with the league ground to a halt, this could be an opportunity for Michael Reinsdorf. I’d guess he’d show some initial sensitivity to the unprecedented nature of this situation.
