Bulls
The Bulls will have their hands full with former coach Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks late in the season, facing New York three times over the last six games. And those aren’t the only potential landmines that await.
But the party for Doris Burke and Doc Rivers was muted by layoffs that touched ESPN’s previous top team. The network dismissed analysts Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson, who called 15 NBA Finals with Mike Breen.
With admittedly “a lot of work to do” this offseason, executive VP Arturas Karnisovas started Friday’s free agency off by keeping Coby White a Bull with a three-year deal. The team also agreed on a three-year deal with outside shooter Jevon Carter.
Arturas Karnisovas took over the front office and instantly made a splash by flipping the roster. The hope was to make Chicago a destination in free agency. Four years later, he has made it only mediocre.
Vucevic was transparent about where he wanted to play; he always started with staying a Bull. That will happen after the sides agreed to a $60 million deal.
“If Larry Bird played in this era, I think he’d be in Europe,” he said.

While there were rumors that the Bulls could make a major move to get into the draft lottery, it proved to be all smoke with no spark. They did trade to get into the second round, drafting athletic Tennessee wing Julian Phillips No. 35 overall.
Being the best at something means much more than hard work and ambition. It takes good genes (and maybe some steroids).
The 19-year-old from France has been called the best prospect since LeBron James came out of high school 20 years ago,.
There has been more smoke forming around the Bulls with the NBA Draft approaching, but will that turn into fire? With no draft assets in hand, executive Arturas Karnisovas has some tough decisions to make on the futures of Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan.
Drafts shouldn’t exist. That’s true even in a year in which they’ve been kinder to Chicago than any of the five major sports franchises have been.
The Bulls aren’t part of the show this time, leaving it to other teams to set up future titles by aligning the stars.
Jordan is selling to a group led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall, the Hornets said. Plotkin has been a minority stakeholder in the Hornets since 2019.
