"Bulls Maintain Trade Deadline Inactivity Streak for Third Consecutive Year"

Executive vice president Artūras Karnišovas stated that the team didn't see any opportunities that would significantly improve their competitiveness.

"Bulls' Lost Season Defined by Trade Returns, Slumping Performance, and Criticism"

The Chicago Bulls' lost season will be defined by the trades made by executive vice president Artūras Karnišovas before the trade deadline, rather than their win-loss record. With the roster likely to undergo significant changes, including the potential trade of Zach LaVine, Karnišovas is focused on reshaping the team for the future. The upcoming games against the Charlotte Hornets and San Antonio Spurs offer an opportunity, but the main storyline of the season is the roster overhaul and potential trades.

Chicago Bulls Sign Torrey Craig to Two-Year Contract

The Chicago Bulls have continued to revamp their "shot profile" by agreeing to a two-year deal with forward Torrey Craig. Craig, known for his aggressive defense and outside shooting, joins Javon Carter as a new addition to the Bulls' roster. The team hopes that these acquisitions will improve their three-point shooting and defensive efficiency, addressing weaknesses from the previous season. The signings also allow coach Billy Donovan to maintain their defensive schemes and cover up their rim protection shortcomings.

"Chicago Bulls: Free Agency Targets, Re-Signing Coby White, and Contract Concerns"

As NBA free agency begins, the Chicago Bulls have limited resources and a history of underwhelming signings. While Arturas Karnisovas has expressed the need for continuity, fans remain skeptical. With limited cap space and roster spots, the Bulls face challenges in addressing their needs for rim protection and shooting. The team recently signed shooting coach Peter Patton but must focus on adding legitimate 3-point threats. In other news, ESPN has reportedly laid off Jeff Van Gundy and Jalen Rose, and the Bulls may consider signing Darius Bazley, a young swingman who played under Billy Donovan.

"Bulls' Free Agency Uncertainty: Contracts, Trades, and Rumors Swirl"

The Chicago Bulls, led by executive vice president Arturas Karnisovas, enter free agency with the goal of making the team a desired destination for players. With limited cap space, they will be competing with other cap-strapped teams for veteran shooters and a playmaker. The Bulls may have to settle for lower-tier options, but they could also explore trades, with Damian Lillard being a potential target. The asking price for Zach LaVine remains high, but if the Bulls want to reload their roster, this offseason presents the best opportunity.

Julian Phillips a Top Pick for Bulls and Wizards in 2023 NBA Draft.

The Chicago Bulls acquired University of Tennessee forward Julian Phillips in the second round of the NBA Draft, but Executive Vice President Artūras Karnišovas indicated that the team's most significant moves will likely come in free agency. Karnišovas also confirmed that Lonzo Ball is not expected to play next season as he continues to recover from injury. The Bulls are looking to address shooting and the lead guard position in free agency, while also considering re-signing Nikola Vučević and other free agents. Phillips is a potential 3-and-D wing player with strong defensive skills, but needs to improve his shooting.

Chicago Bulls: Karnišovas' Confidence, Blockbuster Trades, and Mixed Results.

Chicago Bulls executive vice president Artūras Karnišovas has expressed confidence that the team's ownership would pay the luxury tax to retain their free agents and improve the team in free agency. The Bulls have only paid the luxury tax once in franchise history, but Karnišovas intimated that he'd feel comfortable asking ownership to enter tax territory this offseason following a 40-42 campaign in which the Bulls didn't qualify for the playoffs. The Bulls need to address shooting and perhaps the point guard position, and if they re-sign their free agents and use the midlevel and biannual exceptions, they will enter luxury tax territory.

Chicago Bulls navigate draft day trades and potential blockbuster deals.

The Chicago Bulls opted for continuity on draft night, staying put through the first round before selecting Tennessee wing Julian Phillips with the 35th overall pick in the second round. Executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas admitted they looked to get into the first round, but nothing broke their way. The Bulls front office kept the roster intact at the February trade deadline, and Karnisovas himself praised the direction this team was headed. The focus is on changing the shooting profile to more three-pointers and improving from last season. The Bulls were in discussions with Vucevic on a three-year extension, and Karnisovas will turn his attention to the free-agent market.

The Uncertainty of Artūras Karnišovas' Plan for the Bulls.

Chicago Bulls' executive vice president of basketball operations, Artūras Karnišovas, needs to pivot and prove to fans he has a plan for the team's future after a disappointing season and a flawed roster. Despite opportunities to improve the team's asset base, Karnišovas did nothing last summer and at the trade deadline, leaving the Bulls with no draft capital and no salary-cap space. The team needs a reboot, but Karnišovas has failed to convey a cogent blueprint for what he's doing with the Bulls. The Bulls need a plan, not kick-the-can-style platitudes from a man with a growing list of egregious mistakes.
