CLEVELAND – By late Thursday evening, the only acquisition Arturas Karnisovas was interested in was sleep.
Two straight days of working the phones, but unable to get a deal done by the trade deadline left the Bulls’ executive vice president of basketball operations a bit worn down.
Not that there was much time for some R&R.
Next up for Karnisovas will be exploring the buyout market. That doesn’t mean they’ll find the right piece, but they’ll at least have to go shopping.
“We’ll look at it,’’ Karnisovas said, when asked about the buyout route to add some help.
