‘Ambitious’ free-agent period begins for the Bulls and the NBA on Sunday

There’s a fine line between ambitious and crazy.

Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas is about to toe it.

According to one NBA insider, with the start of free agency on Sunday, Karnisovas’ attempt to flip the roster into a competitive youth movement is “ambitious, but an uphill battle.”

That doesn’t mean he’s not going to try and pull it off.

The issue is the dominos that have to fall before the Bulls can become serious players at the table. That means free agents Paul George and Klay Thompson finding homes first, and the teams left out in the cold then having to come a-calling.
