Everything with the Bulls this offseason has the feel of taking objectively good news and then in the back of your mind think “great, but....Jim Boylen though”
Like this training camp dispatch from Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic, focused on rookie Coby White. There’s good nuggets in there about White’s older brother being a coach for him, and his surprisingly NBA-ready physicality, but a lot of it is coming from Boylen.
So this is the same Boylen who will pepper in “spirit”, an oddity like “we’re thankful for him”, and then you remember this is the same guy who began the season heaping just-as-effusive praise on goddamned Gar Forman.
