If Boylen, Paxson and Forman are not all fired/resigned by this time tomorrow this is already a failure.

So wait is the candidate they have in mind is a minority or are they just eliminating the idea of even hiring a white candidate?

I don't know. I think it maybe a response to the twitter crowd that reacted about how the Bulls did not consider a minority for the head position. But that also fails to realize that the guy they hired is a minority.

There was a lot of pushback from people around the NBA for failing to interview a black candidate for the basketball operations position. I wonder if that is playing a part. Personally I hope it isn't but there is no real way to know for sure.

In what kind of a goofy world is it not to racist to have the sole qualification for a job be your race?

How do you know that it is their "sole qualification"? Or are you merely speaking from a position of ignorance yet again?

Well that goes back to my original question? Does this guy already have a GM in mind who just happens to be black or are they eliminating anyone white from being considered for the job? One is fine, the other is not.

Please don’t turn this entire thread into a race rant. Let’s just enjoy the fact that the Bulls are finally making real changes.

There is no way of knowing that for sure. What we do know is that there were no black candidates for the Veep position. There was pushback and now they plan (allegedly) to hire a minority candidate for the GM position. They should never have allowed this to be leaked in that way. I also don't agree with this particular line of thinking either.

Lithuanians are not exactly A Minority.

Yeah I was a Paxson supporter for a lot of years but it was time for him to go. Hiring Boylen was the last straw.

If the first real change this guy make is to eliminate a huge chunk of the candidates for the GM job because of the colour of their skin then that's a major fucking issue and bodes very poorly for the organisations future.

NBA rosters certainly need more diversity on them.

Bulls also eliminated a good chunk of potential candidates in hiring this guy. Going so far as to interview 3 guys with tremendous baggage instead of any minority candidates.

Yeah Colangelo made no sense and I wonder if that was mostly done as a favor to Colangelo's father.

This is just how the title treadmill goes. This guy is effectively the general manager, isn't he? The GM-in-name will be the assistant GM. It has nothing to do with the organization; any team in Adam Silver's NBA would get dinged for replacing a white executive who replaced a white executive with another white executive.

:lol: yeah that aint going to happen.

But hopefully whoever the coach is brings in a good defensive mind to stop the clown car show

What do you mean? Are you saying they hired Arturas Karnisovas because he's white?

I guess people that only see hidden agendas in everything would see it that way.

Bernsie is suggesting that becasue new top guy is white Bulls should set an example for the NBA. They should get on the right side of history and hire a black coach. Hard to argue with as there are many qualified coaches.

Please stop using the British spelling of words. I doubt many Brits are interested in the NBA. Thanks in advance.
