CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls finished 40-42 and in 10th place in the Eastern Conference this season, but vice president Arturas Karnisovas pointed to the team's 14-9 finish following the All-Star break as evidence the club is on the right path.
Speaking at his end-of-season press conference less than 24 hours after Chicago's 102-91 loss to the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament, Karnisovas reiterated his confidence in the core of the team, saying he wants to bring back its key free agents and that the Bulls were not heading for a rebuild this offseason.
