With the Chicago Bulls set to return to the Advocate Center in less than three weeks, the team faces significant uncertainties as they prepare for the new season. Key departures, including DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso, and ongoing issues with Zach LaVine’s trade situation add to the team’s challenges. The primary question for the season is whether Lonzo Ball will be able to play effectively, though this is largely out of anyone’s control.
As training camp approaches on October 1, the Bulls have several major issues to address:
1. **Artūras Karnišovas’s Job Security:** The future of the franchise depends on whether the executive vice president of basketball operations, Artūras Karnišovas, is on the hot seat.

Karnišovas’s ability to address these issues and improve the team’s fortunes will be crucial.
