Bulls Clean House: Fire Karnišovas and Eversley After Six Wasted Years

The Chicago Bulls finally did what everyone knew they needed to do. On Monday, with four games left in a 29-49 season and a seven-game losing streak piling up, the organization fired VP of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas and GM Marc Eversley.

Six years. A 224-254 record. One playoff appearance. Four straight postseason misses. The Karnišovas-Eversley era produced nothing but mediocrity — never bad enough to land a franchise-altering draft pick, never good enough to matter in April. The final straw was the Jaden Ivey disaster: acquired from Detroit on February 3, then waived on March 30 for conduct detrimental to the team after controversial social media posts.

The one bright spot? Coach Billy Donovan is staying. The Bulls reportedly want to keep him at almost any cost, and he may even help shape the next front office. Chicago is finally ready to do a real rebuild — the question is whether the Reinsdorf ownership group will actually commit to one.
