I started blogging the Bulls in July 2003, mere months after John Paxson took over from Jerry Krause to lead basketball operations.
It’s been a long...really long...time with both of us still at it. So long that this is indeed huge news that the Bulls have reportedly hired a new leader in Arturas Karnisovas. It’ll just be the third person in this position in the nearly 40 years of Reinsdorf ownership. But more importantly is that it’s the first one that isn’t an internal hire from the Bulls ‘family’.
And for that reason alone I’d say the Bulls did pretty well here.
