I have a feeling if Blackwell went to Illinois, Coleman would not be.
Mirkovic will be the central focus of the team offense next year, and I expect Coleman and Morillo (and maybe Brown) to contribute significantly to the team next year.
As is, this is a top 5 roster, and some media outlets were listing them #1 before the Vaaks transfer.
Can't fault the guy for not wanting to be the 10th man off the bench, when there are plenty of other P4 options where he could get significant playing time.
The Bulls had a team full of great 6th men on championship rosters, sold almost all of them for zero first round draft picks, and did it late enough that they couldn't even get good lottery chances this year.
Meanwhile, Reinsdorf fires AKME for not making the play-in and determines the new front office has to keep Donovan.
Somehow this still isn't even the worst basketball franchise in Chicago.
Maybe Reinsdorf saw what the Sky front office did today and realized he somehow didn't have the worst front office in Chicago sports and is now looking to reclaim that title.
I don't think AZ is quite that good. I think Arkansas was a paper tiger that squeaked by a couple of 12-13 seeds and clearly wasn't on a Tier 1 or Tier 2 level.
