Overview
- The Bulls, who announced the dismissals Monday, said the change positions the team for sustained success under new leadership.
- The six-year Karnišovas–Eversley tenure ends with a 224-254 record, one playoff trip in 2022, and a 29-49 mark this season that extends the playoff drought to four years.
- An executive search is expected to start right away, with reports citing big-name possibilities such as former Warriors architect Bob Myers and Golden State GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. as targets.
- Head coach Billy Donovan’s status remains uncertain, though North Carolina filled its vacancy with former Nuggets coach Michael Malone on Monday, easing one outside pull on Donovan.
- The next regime inherits about $65 million in projected cap space, a lottery pick, and a reworked roster after seven deadline trades, with local reporting tying the decision to the fallout from the Jaden Ivey episode.
