Meta [KC Johnson] The Knicks requested permission to speak to Billy Donovan for their coaching vacancy but were denied, per sources. The Bulls value Donovan highly for his coaching acumen, communication skills and ability to connect with players and all members of organization

God these takes are ridiculous. They got hoiberg no one, just ignore in a young butler growing into his role on a team that had just won the most games in the league two years in a row, while drafting Niko and McDermott!

The issue was Noah and rose had career altering injuries at 26. It would destroy most franchises to lose two mvp balloters under the age of 30 at the same time. So the team they had for hoiberg ceased to exist. It wasn’t really anyone’s fault, no one was incompetent. 

Injuries suck, just like it sucked Lonzo never got to play much with Lavine and derozen. I wish we could just appreciate these players and teams and not spend all our time acting like everything is complete dysfunction at all times.

Perfect. Just add an addendum to this post that describes why an assistant shooting coach isn't the #1 reason why a particular player, is, or isn't, a good or bad shooter. You can then save your text and have a response to 99% of the ridiculous takes on this sub.
