The “Woj bomb” that shook the Chicago Bulls fan base and finally jolted this news cycle in the NBA on April 3 arrived in the form of a report of the formal beginning of front office changes. Vice president of basketball operations John Paxson and general manager Gar Forman could be seeing the door sooner than anticipated, or at least have less power in the Bulls front office.
ESPN’s NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski wasn’t the only one to jolt the Bulls news cycle of late, though. A piece written up by Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times that published on April 3 mentioned the possibility of the Bulls front office trying to package power forward Lauri Markkanen together in a trade package that would better fit the new direction of the rebuild.
