Whether the NBA elects to return this season or not the Chicago Bulls aren’t waiting to effect change in the organization. They began that process this week with the hire of Arturas Karnisovas as Vice President of Basketball Operations. You’ll remember the rumors were the Bulls were covetous of OKC Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager, Sam Presti.
Perhaps that’s putting too fine a point on it. If you follow the Bulls you know they weren’t simply covetous of Presti they were willing to do what they never do — and open up the bank vault to get him.
