“After doing
a comprehensive evaluation and giving the process the time it deserved, I
ultimately decided that a fresh approach and evolution in leadership was
necessary,” Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Arturas
Karnisovas said in the statement.
“This was a
very difficult decision, but it is time for our franchise to take that next
step as we move in a new direction and era of Chicago Bulls basketball. Jim is
a great human being that cares deeply about this organisation and the game of
basketball. I want to thank him for his professionalism and commitment to the
franchise.”
The 55
