what took so long?

Money. Bulls owner is a cheapskate. Probably took quite a bit of convincing.

The Bulls extended Boylen with a multi year deal past 2019-2020, which was when his original contract ended.

They’ve made 2 moves in the right direction by firing Boylen and replacing their front office, but let’s not ignore the fact that their roster still needs a lot of work. If they can find anyone that still believes Markkanen is a difference maker they should look to trade him

Outside of LaVine and White I’m not a fan of their roster

Excellent. Not sure we've seen a worse coach in the league.

Fizdale?

Under there previous FO. It only makes sense for a new GM to bring in his own coach (in most cases).

It took so long to get rid of Boylen as the bulls ownership were too cheap to let him walk and spend money on another coach while Boylen still got paid...

Fizdale?

Fiz at least had some success with Memphis.

With a team that was basically already put together and supposedly hated him.

Who else think Boyle’s actually did a decent job... he might not be popular with players, but he can coach, the bulls actually play admirable defense which is very hard to do for young rebuilding team, if all the youngsters buy in, a little change on office, the bulls will be right back in the mix...

If Atkinson is so great, why did the Nets fire him?

Because Kyrie probably.
