Reality has come knocking for the Bulls this week, and when they answer, there’s no one there.

That’s the predicament that Arturas Karnisovas, executive vice president of basketball operations, and the front office were facing Tuesday, a few days into NBA free agency, with players to move and plans to execute but nothing happening to help any of it along.
