Chicago Bulls: How Coronavirus, league suspension affects team

3. Shifting focus from organizational issues

Obviously, with the league shutting down, the one and only focus should be on the safety and well-being of everyone involved in the Bulls organization. From the coaches, to players, to the facility staff, etc. — health is priority number one. There is absolutely nothing more important than the well-being of every person within the organization.

However, with that being said, there will be less and less focus on the real issues within the organization. I am not saying that’s wrong, but it is what it is.

The Bulls are a dysfunctional bunch, and it starts at the top. The longer we go without basketball, the more we can separate ourselves from how badly Chicago needs a change; well, multiple changes actually.

The team is already going to move on from Gar Forman, but John Paxson will remain in his position. In the end, nothing will change. Even when Forman is replaced, the Bulls will continue in dysfunction due to Paxson’s incompetence.

I cannot stress enough — it’s not necessarily a bad thing that the focus is shifted away from everything except the health and livelihood of human beings. That’s what it should be about. But, in the process, the issues within the organization could get buried. When this is all over, it might still take another year or two before these internal problems are truly addressed.
