The Chicago Bulls have dismissed executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley, according to sources via ESPN.
The decision marks a total overhaul of the Bulls' front office leadership. Karnisovas was hired by the organization in April 2020 to lead the basketball operations department, and he subsequently brought in Eversley to serve as the team's general manager. The duo was tasked with returning the franchise to prominence following the departure of the previous administration.
During their four-year tenure, the front office was aggressive in reshaping the roster, orchestrating major trades for Nikola Vucevic and DeMar DeRozan, and signing free agent Lonzo Ball. However, despite an initial surge in performance, the team has struggled to maintain momentum in the Eastern Conference, largely due to significant injury setbacks and a lack of postseason progression.
The Chicago Bulls have not yet named successors or interim replacements for the vacated roles. This move comes as the team enters a pivotal off-season involving high-stakes draft positioning and roster decisions.
