Further evidence that these are not your big brother’s Bulls was offered up again on Monday.
The Sun-Times confirmed that newly-hired coach Billy Donovan was also empowered to decide on the rest of the coaching staff make-up, and began that process by letting the likes of Roy Rogers, Nate Loenser and Dean Cooper know that he was going in a different direction.
Not only does that open the door for Chicago-born Maurice Cheeks – a long-time Donovan assistant – to return home and join the staff, but continues to back the idea that COO Michael Reinsdorf values getting this reboot of the front office as right as he can rather than worrying about the money he’s spending on it.
