The Chicago Bulls are searching for a new general manager following the recent firings of Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley. Potential candidates include Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd, Hawks assistant GM Kyle Korver, Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr., former Hawks GM Landry Fields, and CAA’s Austin Brown. While Dunleavy is unlikely to leave the Warriors, the other candidates bring diverse experiences and backgrounds from their respective roles in the NBA.

  • Kyle Korver transitioned from player to assistant GM within less than a year.
  • Landry Fields served as Hawks GM for three seasons, leading to one playoff appearance.
State of Play

  • Potential candidates each bring unique strengths: Korver's development expertise, Fields' GM experience, and Brown's connections in player relations.
What's Next

As the search progresses, the Bulls may focus on candidates that can effectively rebuild the roster and restore the team's competitive edge. Decisions will likely aim to prioritize both scouting and player development capabilities.

Bottom Line

The Bulls must choose a GM who not only understands team dynamics but also possesses a strong vision to revitalize the franchise. The right hire could redefine Chicago's trajectory in a competitive league.
