A huge splash was made by the new front office regime of first-year executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley on the morning of the trade deadline. Karnisovas and Eversley actually acted on one of the Bulls rumors that was in the pipeline of late. March 25 was set to be a key date on the timeline that is the Chicago Bulls 2020-21 season, but few fans knew that something like this would be coming.
The Bulls were able to acquire star big man Nikola Vucevic and forward Al-Farouq Aminu from the Orlando Magic for a return of a pair of draft picks and players.
