[Charania] Bulls assistant Maurice Cheeks is expected to depart from his full-time, on-bench role on Billy Donovan’s staff, sources say. Cheeks could remain in another role under Donovan. Assistant Chris Fleming also is no longer part of staff as Chicago and Donovan make adjustments.

This isn’t as flashy as a head coaching change, but could be really impactful. Curious to see how they fill out the rest of the coaching staff. Would like them to bring in a guy specifically to help with adding more motion to the offense
John bryant was the guy who coached summer league last year. You’ll recognize his face if you follow bulls social media
Fleming was kinda our “offensive coordinator” so that’s something
Sad to see Cheeks go though, he seemed to have Coby under his wing
The joke writes itself guys, skip it.
Firing the underlings when the ones calling the shots are under fire. Makes total sense.
Every coach matters, so if they think that Longstaff & Bryant are the two best options then i’m good for it. Idk if it is because the talent of the team plateaued, but it feels like coaching has hit a wall
Hopefully these aren’t the big offseason changes AK talked about
