Offseason grades are coming in for Arturas Karnisovas and the Bulls

Most of the national media has judged the Bulls’ offseason as a complete failure.

The latest to weigh in with a red pen in hand was ESPN senior NBA writer Zach Lowe, who recently was discussing the summer project Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas has been working on and called it ‘‘an absolute disaster for the Bulls. They’re a year-and-a-half late for this. They’re a year-and-a-half late to the teardown party.’’

Lowe isn’t wrong. It does reek of failure in that vacuum of timing. But it feels more like an incomplete than a flat-out failure.
