New Bulls head executive Arturas Karnisovas wasting no time on the job

It was easy to continue applauding the aggressiveness of head-man-in-charge Arturas Karnisovas on Friday.

The new face of the Bulls front office restructure hadn’t even officially been announced to the media, but there he was, continuing to expand the build-out of an organization that had fallen way behind the times.

Early in the day, news broke that Karnisovas had grabbed salary-cap specialist – and Illinois grad – J.J. Polk away from the New Orleans Pelicans, handing Polk the title of assistant general manager. A good get? Make that a great get, as the cap consigliere had been with the Pelicans the last 10 years, and was highly-praised by New Orleans executive David Griffin.
