    Don’t understand how a franchise that had the GOAT and is a huge market is such a shit show of a franchise now. Is there no scandals with the reinsdorfs for someone to leak? Bulls fans deserve way better

      KG put it best, I believe:

      “I saw how Jerry (Reinsdorf), how they did Mike, you know, keeping it 100. And all players keep that in the back of their minds. If you treat the greatest like this … the greatest didn’t even have a chance to come back and have ownership. What he invested to build the Bulls, he didn’t even get a chance to come back and reap the benefits of that, so … players see that and remember that or put that in the back of their minds. At least I did.”

      Basically no one wants to play for a franchise that forced the GOAT to retire, underpaid his Robin for years, traded their hometown MVP for nothing, and refused to pay Jimmy Butler.
