The Chicago Bulls appear to be a team on the verge of significant organizational changes. The Bulls made headlines when they made Zach LaVine available for trade. Meanwhile, the futures of many other players are in doubt.
However, the Bulls’ head coach, Billy Donovan, does not appear to be in danger of losing his job.
“[Billy Donovan] is liked and respected by both ownership and management, and his contract has several years left on it.” While it has happened recently with Fred Hoiberg and Jim Boylen, the Reinsdorfs generally do not like paying coaches not to work for them.”
K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reported
The Bulls are a team that will be heavily discussed as the NBA trade deadline approaches. Before finally trading away some of their All-Star talent, the team must decide on a course of action.
Although Donovan appears to be safe, the rest of the cast appears to be in danger.
“Donovan is safe, although it wouldn’t be a surprise to see his staff tweaked moving forward.”

This season, the Bulls are 5-13 and ranked 13th in the Eastern Conference. Despite the fact that no one expected them to be contenders, they have had a very disappointing start to the year. Although the season is still young, changes must be made for the team to make significant progress.
This season, DeMar DeRozan, Lavine, Alex Caruso, and Nikola Vucevic will all be on the market. Keeping Donovan around to coach could indicate that the organization does not want to strip the team down to its bare bones.
While Donovan’s job is secure for the time being, the jobs of those around him remain in jeopardy.
