CLEVELAND — By late Thursday, the only thing Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas was interested in was sleep.
Two consecutive days of working the phones and still being unable to get a deal done by the trade deadline left him a bit worn-down.
Not that there was much time for rest and relaxation.
Next up for Karnisovas will be exploring the buyout market. That doesn’t mean he’ll find the piece he’s looking for, but he at least has to look for it.
