Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan is putting his trust in the front office to navigate the impending trade deadline as his team continues to struggle even to get to .500.
With the deadline at 2 p.m. Thursday, Donovan said before Saturday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers that executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas has kept busy looking for options — but he hasn’t spoken with Donovan about any potential moves.
“We talk quite a bit,” Donovan said. “He has not really given me anything specific. … He always tells me (that) when something really comes up that’s pertinent that he wants to fill me in on, he’ll fill me in.
