A new set of issues has reportedly emerged within the Chicago Bulls organization, and this time around, it revolves around the new front office's alleged unwillingness to hear out the players' concerns pertaining to head coach Jim Boylen.
This reports comes via Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun Times:
As one Bulls player told the Sun-Times on Wednesday, however, the growing concern is no current player is really being listened to. LaVine, several veterans, a seemingly disgruntled rookie, no one.
This smells like trouble. The new regime hasn't even lasted a few months and already, there appears to be some disgruntled players on the team.
It has been no secret how some Bulls players have been unhappy with how Boylen has handled the team since he took over, and while there were some rumors earlier on about the front office looking into replacing their head coach, these whispers have died down of late. As it appears, the front office seem intent to keeping Boylen at the helm for next season — something that does not really bode well for at least some of the Bulls players.
It is very much possible that the front office had a change of heart with regards to Boylen's tenure. However, the issue here is that the players allegedly feel ignored. The Bulls brass have no obligation to the players whatsoever — after all they are employees too — but at the end of the day, they must at least be somewhat involved in the decision-making process. Failing to do so is simply a recipe for disaster.
