Summary
Yossi and Sam open with a full postmortem on the Bulls after the firing of Arturas Karnisovas and Mark Eversley, focusing on where the front office held on too long, what a reset should look like, and how Billy Donovan’s job candidacy elsewhere factors in. Then they touch on the NBA’s proposed 18-team lottery, why the reform would likely move tanking rather than solve it, before closing on a late cap tangent about the 65-game rule and a potential Wembanyama/Rose Rule issue. 0:00 Intro/Why the Bulls finally moved on 6:24 The AKME timelines and when Chicago should’ve pivoted 16:43 What the Bulls should do next and Billy Donovan's future 38:28 The 18-Team Lottery Proposal 47:33 Unintended consequences and impact on outgoing draft picks 1:05:07 More 65 game rule nonsense You can follow Yossi on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/YossiGozlan BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/yossigozlan.bsky.social Salary cap sheets: www.capsheets.com You can follow Sam on: Twitter: https://twitter.com/SamQuinnCBS Third Apron is available on all podcast providers.
