No backstabbing, no cold war brewing, no jealousy, no coach kissing up to his bosses and telling them anything and everything they want to hear.

Could it just be the honeymoon phase for Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and head coach Billy Donovan? Maybe.
But when the agendas are lined up like they are with these two, and they’re both straight shooters, it’s tough imagining this going off the tracks anytime soon.
