How to fix the Chicago Bulls in four simple steps – FOXSports.com

The Bulls need to burn this whole thing to the ground. That’s why we’re letting Wade go, trading Butler and firing the front office, obviously. And from those ashes, a championship contender can rise.

If I were Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf, and I wanted to win basketball games and not just turn a profit to invest in the White Sox, I’d hire Sam Hinkie to oversee that rebuild — I have faith in Hinkie’s abilities as a GM.

Most people in the NBA are out on him after his stint in Philly, where he angered agents and didn’t draft all that well. That’s fine. He might not want to come to Chicago, anyway, since the ownership situation is a mess as well.

If it’s not Hinkie, there are a number of young assistant general managers throughout the Association looking for a chance to make their mark. They’d be happy to rebuild your franchise into a modern NBA organization.

It will take time and patience in equal measure, but the sooner Chicago starts the process, the better off the Bulls will be.
