Bulls Rumors: 76ers' Marc Eversley Agrees to Contract to Become Chicago GM

The Chicago Bulls reportedly reached an agreement with Philadelphia 76ers Senior Vice President of Player Personnel Marc Eversley to become their next general manager.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Eversley agreed to terms on the deal late Sunday night. He will serve under Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Arturas Karnisovas, who was hired earlier this month to take over a revamped Bulls front office.

The Bulls fired general manager Gar Forman and reassigned Vice President of Basketball Operations John Paxson when they hired Karnisovas. Forman and Paxson worked together to lead the Bulls' front office for more than a decade.

Karnisovas came over after being the Denver Nuggets' general manager under Tim Connelly. The 49-year-old previously worked in the NBA league office before becoming an international scout for the Houston Rockets.

Eversley, the first black general manager in Bulls history, previously worked in the front offices for the Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards, in addition to Philadelphia. He's a protege of former Sixers general manager Bryan Colangelo, who hired him in both Philly and Toronto.

Karnisovas and Eversley will be tasked with reviving a franchise that was headed toward its third straight season out of the playoffs before the season was postponed because of the coronavirus. While it's unclear when or if the 2019-20 season will return, the new Bulls brain trust will have its work cut out once a sense of normalcy returns.
