With all The Last Dance stuff going on, I've almost completely forgotten about the current Bulls. Seems like the GM search is moving at a much slower pace. Wonder when we'll hear something concrete.

I wouldn’t be surprised if AK already made his decision and just waiting a couple days for the Last Dance media coverage to die down a bit so he can keep Bulls name in news cycle. Jmo

I highly doubt that the documentary will have any effect, it'll simply be a case of having no need to rush anything.

If they want the GM hire to have his own day in the news Monday would not have been a good day.

It’s are-too-ross car-knee-SHOW-Vas

It's close. But to be exact, it's more like Car-Knee-SHAW-Vas (as in Brian Shaw, the ex-NBA player). Also, the letter 'r' in 'car' is more pronounced than in the English word 'car'.

If you pronounce it like this, it's pretty much 99.9% Lithuanian and Arturas himself would be impressed

I don’t think it’s that big of news. AK was the biggest one and next one is the coach. Honestly I could care less who the gm is.

Most people I hear pronounce his name are pretty close, its just that they put accent on the wrong syllable. I would say its less Car-Knee-shaw-vas, and more karnih-shaw-vas, shaw being the strongest syllable. AMericans are guilty of mispronouncing letter o in Lithuanian names, they also say Sa-bow-nis, instead of SA-Baw-nis, which is the right pronounciation of Sabonis.

I agree that I'm pining more for the right coach but I'm for sure not discounting the importance of getting the right gm. We need smart people doing smart things so open the checkbook and get the right smart people all working together to.fix this from the top down.

Exec, gm, coach(es) clean break. Hand the keys to AK, he picks the people, see what happens.

Order some bagels and get a white board out and start earning the big bucks.
