Bulls clean house

The Chicago Bulls dropped the hammer on Monday, firing both VP of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and GM Marc Eversley after six years of going absolutely nowhere. Their combined record? 224-254. Not exactly the revival Chicago was promised.

The final straw wasn't just the 29-49 record or the seven-game losing streak. It was the Jaden Ivey disaster — acquired from Detroit on February 3, then waived on March 30 for "conduct detrimental to the team" after making anti-LGBTQ+ comments on social media. An embarrassment on and off the court.

Now CEO Michael Reinsdorf is searching for a new head of basketball operations, but with one non-negotiable condition: the next GM has to be sold on keeping Billy Donovan as head coach. The Bulls plan to engage a search firm, and the franchise is hoping to finally turn the page on what's been a brutal stretch in Chicago basketball.
