Notice Bulls real problem (by Joe Cowley)

Coaching changes, injury talk, Jabari Parker’s status, it’s really all smoke.

Yet, all footprints can be tracked to one office.

An office that is heavily guarded with soundproof walls and one very stubborn chairman standing out front, who has allowed loyalty to now turn into defiance.

If Jerry Reinsdorf feels that general manager Gar Forman is really doing a good job as main talent evaluator, where’s the proof?

There’s no hardware to back that up.

There’s not a single big-name free agent that has ever said, “Hey, I need to get to the Bulls and play for Forman – that guy is building something special.”

And maybe even more concerning, there’s no evidence Forman understands how one talented player can coexist with another talented player. It’s like watching a small child gathering shiny blocks, and not caring about their shape when it’s time to build with them.

Forman handpicked a coach in Hoiberg whose offense is predicated on outside shooting and never gave him an outside shooter.

And by the way, the term GarPax must stop. Forman and his minions are embedded so deeply throughout the organization that Paxson couldn’t exterminate them all even if he tried. The two are separate entities, with Paxson’s biggest fault being a team player and going out of his way to align himself in a united front with Forman.

So we can all keep debating Jim Boylen and his offense or Parker’s minutes, keep blinking through that smoke.

Want change? Someone with a pulse and some power at the Advocate Center must remove Forman from that post, call the Brooklyn Nets and beg their assistant GM – and former Dukie – Trajan Langdon to move to Chicago for a better title, a more spacious office and fatter paycheck.

Will it happen?

This team is too soft … going all the way up.

It is obvious to me that John and Gar are no longer good at their jobs. The NBA game may have passed them by.

They draft pretty well, but up until the Holiday trade they made serveral God awful trades from the Bulls side of things. Not only that when we had an asset, they never had the fortitude to trade that player to better their team overall. Normally they lost them by the player walking.
