Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas has now chosen “continuity” over roster change for a third consecutive trade deadline.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – “Continuity” has been the drumbeat coming from the Bulls and their executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas for several years.

There’s a difference between continuity and flat-out roster neglect, however, and Karnisovas is guilty of the latter. On several counts at that.

No DeMar DeRozan trade. Understandable, since the Sun-Times had been reporting that they actually wanted to keep the veteran with the expiring contract and seek an extension with him this summer.
