Ranking 6 best Bulls GM candidates to replace Arturas Karnisovas, from Bob Myers to Matt Lloyd | Sporting News

Who should be the next general manager of the Bulls?
www.sportingnews.com www.sportingnews.com

Mike Zarren​

Zarren is the best executive that nobody outside of Boston has heard of. The lifelong Celtics fan is the brains behind many of the team's moves, working his way up from a position as an unpaid intern to the VP of Basketball Operations under Brad Stevens.

Zarren was involved in the early days of NBA analytics. He is the team's lead salary cap expert and a behind-the-scenes force in the shrewd trades that have led to their championship window, including the one that brought in Jayson Tatum.

Zarren would probably never leave the Celtics. He doesn't want the spotlight of a lead decision-maker, and he has a good thing going for him as the No. 2 in Boston. He's turned down offers to lead a team on his own in the past. But he did attend the University of Chicago as an undergraduate student before getting a law degree from Harvard. Perhaps a big enough paycheck could convince him to return to the city with his basketball PhD.

:ehh:

Matt Lloyd​

Lloyd is another former Bulls employee with a hefty resume. He worked for the team under both Jerry Krause and John Paxson, learning scouting tricks of the trade from both. The Bulls had some of their best drafting years with Lloyd as part of their team, using his data-driven approach and sharp eye to find diamonds in the rough.

Lloyd went on to work for the Magic and is currently the senior vice president of basketball operations for the Timberwolves under Tim Connelly. He's worked his way up from the Bulls' video room, putting in over two decades in front offices. He has earned a shot to be the lead guy somewhere.

I've seen people suggest Bob Myers and I'm against that.

Drafting Steph, Klay, Draymond, signing Iggy were great moves. KD fell into his lap and he played a part in fukking that up.

Jerry West had to talk him out of trading Klay for Kevin Love. Wiseman, Moody, and Kuminga picks were terrible. His two timeline plan was a fukking disaster and he walked away before he had to deal with the shyt he built.

well, I'd be a little skeptical of Lloyd even though he gets a lot of love (and I could also a situation where if and when Donovan gets the boot, he'd look for Nori who deserves a HC job.


the big skepticism I have is that he's SVP and all, but the only thing that would help his cause is if he had little to nothing to do with what Connelly has done in terms of personnel an asset management because Tim has kinda sucked at both.
