The Bulls, who went 224-254 under the Karnisovas-Eversley partnership since 2020, made just one playoff appearance in their tenure and are now out of the postseason for the fourth straight season. The moves come amid criticism of several key decisions, including trading away future draft picks for Nikola Vucevic, signing Zach LaVine to a max contract, and trading away Lauri Markkanen before he became an All-Star.
Before joining the Bulls, Eversley served as assistant GM for the Toronto Raptors, VP of player personnel for the Washington Wizards, and VP of the Philadelphia 76ers Player Staff. The Bulls now look to rebuild their front office amid mounting pressure to improve the team's performance.
