I've never been happier than now that Pritzker won. He is a great dude.

 

[Whitemex]

so happy that it's the organization footing the bill and not the players like some other teams around the league

Now if only the Bulls would fire GarPax.

I am shocked the Bulls owner is doing this. I am also glad he is.

Reinsdorf is famously cheap, so this is pretty shocking, but awesome nonetheless.

This is the first time in history that Reinsdorf isn't being a cheapskate. Who's blackmailing him?

 

[Mr.Awesome]

Reinsdorf is famously loyal to his employees to I dont think it's too surprising. I think his cheapness gets overblown but I'm a Sox fan more than a Bulls fan.

That said...why arent the White Sox mentioned here?

Isn't the bulls owner a notorious cheapass? Bulls have been shit bc he hates spending money

 

[CallMeShaft]

A lot of teams are doing this, so UC teams are nothing special in this regard.

I do wonder how much Rocky Wirtz had to twist Reinsdorf's arm to do this. Maybe Rocky's paying the whole thing; wouldn't surprise me.
