In a significant leadership change for the Chicago Bulls, Michael Reinsdorf, the team's president and CEO, has dismissed executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas and general manager Marc Eversley following a disappointing 2026 season. This decision marks a departure from Jerry Reinsdorf's long-standing aversion to tanking, as the Bulls aim to improve their draft position by trading away assets for less established players. Michael Reinsdorf's statement acknowledged fans' frustrations and indicated a commitment to righting the ship, mirroring his father's sentiments expressed during similar management changes with the Chicago White Sox. The Reinsdorfs’ pattern of loyalty to underperforming executives raises questions about the future direction of the Bulls, especially given the current lack of promising talent on the roster. With the team now in a rebuilding phase, the next hire for the basketball operations role will be crucial for the franchise’s future.
