The Bulls on Monday fired EVP/Basketball Operations Arturas Karnisovas and GM Marc Eversley. Karnisovas and Eversley were hired to run the Bulls front office at the start of the 2020-21 season and went 224-254 across six seasons. The 2021-22 season saw the only winning season and playoff appearance under their leadership. The Bulls are currently 29-49 and 12th in the Eastern Conference. At the trade deadline, the team “flipped over a large portion of its roster.” But sources said that the Bulls’ deadline moves did “not dramatically improve their lottery odds or gain any pieces the team sees as part of its future.” One of the players the Bulls acquired, G Jaden Ivey, was dismissed last week after “several social media posts ranging on topics including religion, anti-gay sentiments and depression” (ESPN.com, 4/6).
