Thoughts on the Karnisovas hire: Brilliant move to make now and not wait for an official 'offseason'. The league could easily be looking at a much shorter offseason than normal and you don't want your top basketball exec playing catch-up. Critical Bulls were out in front of this
I don't get the 'Paxson need to 100% go' mentality. If Karnisovas wants him to stay as an adviser then it's a good move. Pax built a contender here and he'd be an adviser, not making final decisions. But if Karnisovas wants him gone completely, that's the right move
There are dozens of ripple effects to this hire. The entire front office is getting blown up. It's a complete culture change and Michael Reinsdorf should be praised for going outside of the family for this. Karnisovas will have 6 months or more before the Bulls play another game
Lastly, I expect very little change to the roster this offseason. There just isn't much flexibility and with a very uncertain cap situation next season, that's not a bad thing. Top priority will be evaluating RFA's Valentine and Dunn. Big chance for roster change comes in 2021
