Over the past few seasons, the Chicago Bulls have made terrible decisions when it comes to shipping off their players for good assets.

The haul for players like Alex Caruso, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine has done next to nothing in terms of putting the team in place for a proper rebuild. As a result, Bulls fans haven't held the team's executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas in high regard.

Unfortunately for Bulls fans, the team's latest actions on the matter may upset them.

According to a report from Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Bulls have no plans to remove Karnisovas or GM Marc Eversley.

Bulls ownership is still sending out edict to "fix it," but according to a source, they have no plans to make a move on exe. VP Arturas Karnisovas, GM M. Eversley or coach Billy Donovan this offseason. They still feel AK is right guy for job.

"A Bulls source told the Sun-Times on Thursday that there were no plans to remove executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas from his position, and it was a solid bet that general manager Marc Eversley and head coach Billy Donovan were equally as safe," Cowley said.

According to Cowley, the Bulls have been particularly impressed with head coach Billy Donovan. They particularly enjoy his offensive style and the relationships he's created within the locker room.

"Donovan, especially, is well-liked by both the front office and ownership, with all involved impressed with the way he flipped the offensive playing style so dramatically in just one season, as well as the relationships he has developed within the locker room," Cowley said.

Even though Karnisovas has not left the Bulls in a position for a proper rebuild and has lost the admiration of the team's fans, Chicago's ownership believes he's the right man for the job.

"The Sun-Times reported last year that this has been the mentality of the Reinsdorfs to Karnisovas, and while patience might be running a bit thinner than it was over the previous two seasons, the belief is that Karnisovas is the right guy for the job," Cowley said.

If the blowout losses against the Detroit Pistons proved anything, it's that the next few seasons could be rough for Bulls fans.
