Casey Johnson

Casey Johnson on with Mully and Hawk.

I made a comment earlier in the week on Mully and them.

Them boys.

Talking about the Bulls and the Bulls' job being attractive.

And Casey is 100% right.

It's way more attractive now that there are two first-round picks.

And we'll see what ends up happening at the draft lottery and where the Bulls end up picking.

But it's a...

It's definitely an attractive job because there's opportunity here, the sleeping giant idea of the Bulls being a sleeping giant.

But it's going to need someone who is motivated and smart and is ahead of trends or sees trends that can be gotten to versus reacting to trends, which it feels like the Acme group was kind of doing.

Yeah, I feel very strongly that, and honestly, I'm so relieved today

Because I did not want to think of Billy as being so selfish because he's never come off that way.

And him staying in that gig and staying as the head coach, knowing, like him knowing that that's not how any of this works and it never works out well.

I'm so glad that his integrity stays intact where we can hold him up and be like, this is the way that a professional adult should act.

Here's what Billy Donovan said in his statement.

After a series of thoughtful and extensive discussions with ownership regarding the future of the organization, I have decided to step away as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls to allow the search process to unfold.

I believe it is in the best interest of the Bulls to allow the new leader to build out the staff as they see fit.

My gratitude for this community and this organization is permanent.

Thank you, Jerry and Michael, for giving me this opportunity.
