*How to (Maybe) Save Chicago

[Oles]

As much credit as the original GM's deserve for the build, it is a lesson in research for HO Gm selection as they let these two have the most enticing part of an expansion team, the build, and then left the team hang almost immediately after the fun part was over.

We drafted a few guys in hopes of taking over for us because we knew we weren't going to be around for too long. We had built a good foundation and had guys we thought who were going to be able to takeover after a few seasons of mentoring and teaching. We had a plan in place and that plan worked. To say that I left after the fun part was over, when I had already spent multiple seasons as a gm before for the Liberty when we were struggling, then was a member of HO who was constantly harassed for a year, every decision was heckled and ridiculed and it most definitely wasn't fun. But nah I left after the fun part was over, not because I decided to go back to college, decided to move states, and was starting to get burnt out after years of service to the league where many of the things I heard were negative and damning to my mental health. We built the team to have a good foundation for the future, and the foundation for the team fell out from underneath when those players left.
