The Chicago Bulls have fired general manager Marc Eversley and top executive Artūras Karnišovas, ending their six-year tenure with the franchise.

The dismissals come after what has been characterized as a period of mediocre performance for the organization. Karnišovas joined the Bulls as executive vice president of basketball operations in 2020, while Eversley was hired as general manager the same year.

The Bulls will now begin searching for new front office leadership. Early reports have linked several candidates to the general manager opening, including former NBA player Kyle Korver, who has worked in front office roles, as well as Landry Fields and Matt Lloyd.

Korver, who played 17 seasons in the NBA and has experience in player development and front office operations, represents one potential direction for the franchise. Fields, a former player who has worked in management roles, and Lloyd are also being mentioned as possible candidates.

The coaching staff and roster implications of the front office changes remain unclear as the organization begins its search for new leadership. The Bulls will likely conduct a comprehensive search process before making their next hires.
