Bulls Targeting Korver, Dunleavy, Fields for GM Role
The Chicago Bulls are actively searching for new candidates to fill their general manager position following the recent firings of Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley. Several potential targets have emerged, indicating a proactive approach by the Bulls’ organization to revamp their front office.
Bulls Targeting Key Candidates for GM Role
According to credible sources, the Bulls have expressed interest in several notable figures in the basketball community:
- Matt Lloyd: Current GM of the Timberwolves.
- Kyle Korver: Assistant GM of the Atlanta Hawks.
- Mike Dunleavy Jr.: General Manager of the Golden State Warriors.
- Landry Fields: Former GM of the Atlanta Hawks.
- Austin Brown: Co-head of CAA’s basketball division.
Potential Candidates Overview
Kyle Korver transitioned into management after a commendable NBA career, becoming the Hawks’ assistant GM in January 2023. His previous experience is expected to be a valuable asset.
Mike Dunleavy Jr. is noted for his successful tenure with the Warriors but is considered “highly unlikely” to leave his current position. His inclusion is viewed as a potential “wish list” pick by the Bulls.

Austin Brown is a significant figure in the NBA, representing high-profile players such as Donovan Mitchell and Trae Young. His expertise may attract the Bulls as they look to bolster their front office.
Next Steps for the Bulls
As the Bulls refine their search for a new general manager, discussions surrounding these candidates are expected to intensify. The organization aims to identify a leader who can steer them back into competitive territory within the league.
