Arturas Karnisovas Rumors
Nikola Vucevic on trade rumors: I didn't pay much attention to it
Asked this week if he was ever concerned with being moved to the Jazz, Nikola Vucevic confessed that it was never really a worry. “I was on Zillow every day … Salt Lake … nah, I’m kidding,” Vucevic said. “Honestly, I didn’t pay attention to it much. By speaking to AK [executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas] here and [Coach] Billy Donovan, I knew their plan and what they were thinking. “People asked me about it all the time and it was on my Twitter all the time. So when Gobert got traded to Minnesota I thought it would be a good time to have a little joke.”

Zach LaVine: would have been 'disrespectful' to look elsewhere
“I went into the offseason with an open mind,’’ LaVine explained on Monday, when discussing his recently signed five-year, $215 million max contract. “Once I was able to meet with [Bulls general manager] Marc [Eversley] and [executive vice president of basketball operations] AK [Arturas Karnisovas], and they came to me with everything that I wanted, there was no other reason for me to go outside and look at any other teams. “I think that would have been, for me, disrespectful on my end because they gave me everything that I asked for.’’
Rob Schaefer: Zach LaVine said he, Arturas Karnisovas, Marc Eversley and Billy Donovan went out for a celebratory dinner after he signed his contract with the Bulls. Said he thanked them for their work in bringing him back — but allowed them to “pay for some expensive wine”
