NBA
Tuesday afternoon didn’t offer much clarity for the Bulls, whose roster problems begin and end with what to do with LaVine.
The final straw for DeRozan, considered the “King of the Fourth” for three seasons with the Bulls, came when Alex Caruso was traded to the Thunder for Josh Giddey.
Free agent Andre Drummond was the first piece to go on Sunday, agreeing to sign with the 76ers. That doesn’t mean executive Arturas Karnisovas was close to done with an “ambitious” plan to flip the roster.
The youth movement continues for Arturas Karnisovas, who agreed to a deal with Williams, 22. In the last week, Karnisovas added Josh Giddey and first-round pick Matas Buzelis before making sure Williams didn’t hit the open market.
With the league turning its attention to free agency Sunday night, it’s time to put a bow on the two-night NBA Draft and break down the winners and losers.
The additions of Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis have not come by accident. The youth movement is alive and well for the Bulls, but now they need help with the start of free agency to continue to push it.
It’s not guaranteed that father and son will actually play in a game together. But it raises the possibility that it could happen in what would be an NBA first — a father-son on-court duo in the league simultaneously as players.
“We don’t know what he’s going to look like in a month or two, so we’re just going to take one step at a time, and hopefully he’s going to be ready for training camp,” Karnisovas said.
The draft stock had varied on the former Illinois standout. But after being found not guilty of rape two weeks ago, NBA teams regained interest with most analysts forecasting him in the late first round.
The Bulls have started the process of slowly turning over the roster after three years of continuity, and added a promising wing in G League Ignite’s Buzelis.
Executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas finally seems ready to climb down the hill of continuity that he spent the last few seasons dying on.
The first Sunday of the season brings Caitlin Clark to Wintrust Arena for one of the games of the day in all of sports. After that, though, Chicago fans might look at the states of some of their teams and realize there’s a lot to complain about.
Bulls executive VP of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas promised changes this offseason, and the first domino fell Thursday, when he sent defensive standout Caruso to the Thunder for Giddey, a promising playmaking guard.
The Bulls will start the first round with pick No. 11, but there’s a chance they don’t stay there. Does executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas have a card to be played or will he stay the course in a mediocre draft?
Jayson Tatum had 31 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds, and the Celtics topped the Mavericks 106-88 to break a tie with the Lakers for the most titles in league history.
It’s not a great draft class, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t gems to be found. Considering the recent state of the Bulls and the confusing direction of the organization, exec Arturas Karnisovas & Co. need to hit it big.
It doesn’t seem like Shannon is going to personally have a problem putting the falsehood and what he had to go through because of the falsehood behind him. Unknown is whether the rest of the world finds the ability to do the same.
The 23-year-old Shannon was accused of committing sexual assault last September while visiting Kansas for a football game between the Illini and the Jayhawks.
West, nicknamed “Mr. Clutch” for his late-game exploits as a player, went into the Hall of Fame as a player in 1980 and again as a member of the 1960 U.S. Olympic Team in 2010.
