The top operations leader, Arturas Karnisovas, would have given the go-ahead to the operation, and in the absence of finalizing a few small details with his agent Bill Duffy, his continuity will soon become official with the Illinois franchise, which he arrived in March 2021 through a transfer from the Orlando Magic.
In 181 official games (all as a starter) he has averaged 18.2 points, 11.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1 block in 33.2 minutes per day in Chicago.
With its continuity, the Bulls are committed to keeping the core of the squad made up of veteran DeMar DeRozan and the aforementioned Vucevic while waiting for the recovery of Lonzo Ball, who could again be lost next season due to his knee injury. However, it remains to be seen what will happen to the future of Zach LaVine, who would be declared transferable, and is of interest to teams like the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks, according to the latest information.
