News (as well as disparaging chants) broke over All-Star Weekend that the Chicago Bulls were using the time to begin the search for their next general manager. Gar Forman has been pushed into more of a scouting role in recent months and this would seem to be a confirmation that vice president John Paxson has been in control of this thing for some time.
That inarguably shows poorly on Paxson.
Chicago struggled through injuries and ineptitude to a 19-36 record. Injuries happen so that in itself isn’t a reason to chastise the front office.
