Our tanking Chicago Bulls seem to have woken up local media pundits as to the sorry state of ownership and the team’s horrific front office. Team president Arturas Karnisovas and GM Marc Eversley’s bungled top trade acquisition pick-up of Jaden Ivey, who has since been cut for behavior anyone could have noticed pre-trade, seems to be the final straw for many.
With the Final Four set for this weekend, there was some big college hoops news. And NBA teams are starting to feel the strain many MLB and NHL teams have with RSNs getting squeezed. Let’s jump into some more on the local radio waves trashing the Bulls’ front office and other news and notes in the hoops world.
Bulls Bullets — April 3, 2026
On a recent episode of ESPN Chicago 1000 AM’s “Waddle & Silvy,” hosts Tom Waddle and Marc ‘Silvy’ Silverman have called out Bulls owners Jerry and Michael Reinsdorf for their mishandling of both the family’s Chicago franchises (the Bulls and the White Sox). Silverman also shredded Karnisovas as “the worst front office guy in Chicago sports history.” Both hosts were stunned that the Reinsdorfs haven’t already fired Karnisovas, ultimately speculating that Karnisovas’ new contract may be the root cause of their reluctance to can him. They also wondered if Chicago’s continued box office success could be preventing the Reinsdorfs from feeling pressured to make a change. The Bulls have enjoyed just one playoff season in six years under Karnisovas, but beyond that clearly has zero direction for the future and little inclination to significantly improve its roster. Elsewhere on ESPN 1000, “Carmen & Jurko” hosts Carmen DeFalco and John Jurkovic rightly called out Reinsdorf for riding the ’90s Bulls nostalgia wave and the White Sox’s single 2005 World Series win while squandering the current clubs. This has been a recurring theme on Windy City radio. Longtime former ESPN Bulls beat reporter Nick Friedell, now an NBA reporter for Audacy, hopped on 104.3 FM The Score’s “Spiegel & Holmes” to advocate for emptying the Bulls front office with hosts Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes. Michigan and Illinois are back in the men’s Final Four (albeit on different sides of the bracket), a testament to the quality of Big Ten basketball this season! Now, an iconic Wolverines squad of yesteryear is reuniting to celebrate. Per Austin Karp of Sports Business Journal, all five starters from the original ’90s-era “Fab Five” Michigan team — Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson — will call an alternative game broadcast for the Wolverines’ Final Four tilt against Arizona, on truTV. The Main Street Sports Group, which owns the local broadcast rights to a whopping 13 NBA clubs and six NHL teams, is officially shuttering this week, according to Tom Friend of Sports Business Journal. London sports streaming site DAZN almost swooped in to purchase the company and help it stave off bankruptcy, but a deal ultimately failed to materialize. John Ourand of Puck reported last month that the NBA is now exploring a more central option for bundling local markets, which it could package and sell to a big streaming option. Friend reports that this may not materialize until the 2027-28 season, meaning the Hawks, Hornets, Cavaliers, Pistons, Pacers, Clippers, Grizzlies, Heat, Bucks, Timberwolves, Thunder, Magic, and Spurs may be left to scramble for one-year deals in the interim. The NBA can’t stop itself from cooking up hare-brained new anti-tanking measures to improve the league’s lottery system. The latest weird pitch, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, is a “draft credit” scheme. In this system, teams would bid on new rookie prospects the way people use waiver budgets to draft their fantasy football, baseball or basketball teams.
