If there’s one thing that’s easy to agree upon with regard to the Bulls’ pending change in front office leadership, it’s that an impetus for change was long overdue. Executive VP of basketball operations John Paxson and GM Gar Forman are set to step aside into smaller roles with the organization after a frustrating half-decade filled average to below-average teams. Bulls ownership, with the process being spearheaded by team president Michael Reinsdorf, wants a decision sooner than later—putting the new hire in position to evaluate the state of the organization as soon as possible, with the fate of the 2019-20 season still pending due to the NBA’s coronavirus shutdown, and the draft and free agency operating on an uncertain timetable.
