When ESPN reported last week that the Bulls had started their search for an executive with full authority on basketball decisions, Bulls fans were so overjoyed, they risked their health by hugging anyone and everyone not named “Jim Boylen.’’
Some of what was in the story had been reported before, but the fan base would celebrate an old couch right now, as long as vice president John Paxson and general manager Gar Forman were sitting on it and it was being lowered into a landfill. Such has been the disgust around here. The possibility of the two men fading into the background sounded like the beginning to the end of a long nightmare.
