What the hell happened to Lauri? Did his skills just vanquish in thin air?

And why aren't you guys going to bring Dunn back?

Lauri was likely playing hurt, like every player on our team. Dunn hasn't been very good for us, most fans wanted him gone before this year. His defense and effort have been great this year but he isnt a key piece. Our coach and medical staff suck.

The Bulls are finalizing a deal with Nuggets general manager Arturas Karnisovas that will make him Chicago’s new executive VP of basketball operations, sources tell ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link).

According to Woj (via Twitter), the Bulls offered the job to Karnisovas earlier in the evening on Wednesday and spent the night negotiating the details.

Karnisovas’ diverse background in basketball was said to appeal to the Bulls. Before working with Nuggets president of basketball operations Tim Connelly to build a contender in Denver, Karnisovas was part of the basketball operations department in the NBA’s league office and served as an international scout for the Rockets. He also had a successful EuroLeague career as a player and won a pair of bronze medals for Lithuania’s national team in the Olympics.

Karnisovas had been with the Nuggets since being hired as an assistant general manager in 2013. He was promoted to GM in 2017 and helped build a roster that won 54 games in 2018/19 and was on nearly an identical pace this year before the NBA suspended its season.

9:42am: As the Bulls prepare to officially hire Arturas Karnisovas and revamp their front office, head coach Jim Boylen is concerned that he won’t be given the opportunity to return to the team in 2020/21, a source told Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times on Thursday morning.

According to Cowley, Boylen is hoping he’ll get the chance to “sit down with his new bosses” and discuss the season-and-a-half he has spent as Chicago’s head coach.

4:00pm: Despite his concern about his job security, Boylen remains confident that he’ll get to start next season as the Bulls’ head coach, a source close to the situation tells Cowley.

Yeah if Arturas doesn't let Boylen go, I think Chicago might actually riot.

Boylen’s become something of a fan favorite in chi town, after the initial fiasco following Hoidberg’s departure, but he’s earned player respect since then. He’s got that hard nosed blue collar mentality, which makes it hard for players to listen to him when he hasn’t earned their respect. Doesn’t mean he’s a good coach and shouldn’t be fired, but I don’t think Chicago going riot

Hmm that's interesting, I've never heard of that before.

Chicago Reddit fan base has pretty much said the opposite of what you're saying, and pretty much everyone is ready for him to read.

That being said, I'm confused why you would want him to stay, hasn't he failed to live up to expectations?
