Arturas Karnisovas has forgotten more about basketball and the inner workings of an NBA organization than any fan or any member of the media knows.
The moment that is not believed is the moment you are fooling yourself.
The Bulls executive vice president of basketball has the pulse of player development, scouting, analytics, cap issues, while also understanding the politics of ownership and what the underlying agenda of those bosses may or may not be.
The media is not privy to a lot of that information.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t blind spots, however.
