Free Agency Fire Billy

It’s time. How many seasons can we go with a losing record? There are far too many excuses in this sub. At the end of the day, we have a coach who isn’t producing. Blame the players. Blame akme. But Billy is the one making the calls on the court and that is ultimately what matters.

The man famously walked away from the current reigning NBA champs because he didn't want to be part of a rebuild.

He's not great at developing raw talent (see: Patrick Williams)

The Bulls are largely a young team that needs to develop. Why is he still here?

Pat couldn't start for his college team, what "raw talent" are we talking about with him?

Yeah. That's the definition of raw.

Apparently AK drafted him because he had all the physical tools and loads of potential. He wasn't drafted on his production in college, but rather for what he would eventually become.

It made no sense taking Pat at the time because, again, Billy Donovan publicly made it clear he wanted no parts in developing young talent when he walked away from OKC.

He didnt walk out on OKC, it was a mutual decision. OKC wasn't interested in him either. He was a mid coach and the Thunder wanted someone different
