Chicago Bulls: Desperately Seeking a Better GM

As a sports fan, I’ve spent countless hours lamenting the mistakes GMs and other front office personnel make, seemingly on a daily basis. 

While I understand actually being a GM is harder than it looks, I’d love nothing more than one year in the front office of a lackluster franchise in the hope of turning things around.  And if I had to choose the professional sports franchise I’d like to run starting tomorrow, it would be the Chicago Bulls. 

Why the Bulls? 

They’re an NBA team 

I may write like a know-it-all, but even I admit I wouldn’t even know what to do in an NFL or MLB front office.  Basketball is the sport I’m most familiar with.  Basketball is a sport whose wayward franchises—when not faced with Knick-like cap problems—can be turned around quickly. 

And basketball is the sport that seems to have the most boneheaded GMs.  Really, would I do any worse than Isiah Thomas?  Probably not.   

John Paxson stinks

If organizations win championships, like former Bulls GM Jerry Kraus famously claimed, then it’s a wonder that this franchise ever won anything.  With all due respect to current Executive VP John Paxson, he’s not getting the job done.
