It's going to take his best coaching to find success with the Bulls.

What?

What?

What do you think about the hire?

 

[tlance]

I like it.

Donovan is at his best coaching young players and this team has talent.

I think they will be a popular bet to grab one of those final playoff spots this year.

Not really... This Bulls team has talent. Just needs a competent head coach.

Should be a good fit

Sounds like good news to me

 

[trojanfan12]

Seems like a good hire. I don't think Donovan can lead them to a title...but I think he can get them to the playoffs. The Bulls are young, have some talent and as @tlance pointed out, Donovan is at his best developing young players.

The Bulls got a great coach.

He will have more success with the Bulls than Thibs will with the NYK.

 

[CaptainStubing]

Good coach. It will be interesting

My daughters Junior Varsity team will have more success than the Knicks...

My daughters Junior Varsity team will have more success than the Knicks...

They might be able to beat the Knicks.

Especially if their coach can break a clipboard.

amirite or what @Pastafazul ?

Pretty decent hire by the Bulls.....and the Knicks got themselves a good one too.

Its a good situation for Billy the only thing I would say about the success of that thunder team was how much of it had to do with Chris Paul and his leadership that he brought to the team. Either way if he has success in Chicago that would be huge for his career because that franchise has been irrelevant since Derrick Rose got injured.
