NEW YORK – Arturas Karnisovas did his best to win the press conference, but the Bulls’ executive vice president of basketball operations knew he was short on ammo Thursday evening.
So he did what he could in explaining his team’s inactivity as the trade deadline came and went earlier in the day, hitting the talking points that mattered most – several times in some cases – and now he will sit back and watch the final 28 regular-season games play out.
Live to wheel-and-deal another day.
“I think I can start by saying we were pretty active at the trade deadline,’’ Karnisovas said, referring to the phone calls made and received.
