Although the Chicago Bulls still have a long way to go in their re-tooling process, the organization has taken yet another important step forward tonight. Multiple reports have confirmed the hiring of a new general manager, Marc Eversley of the 76ers.
Take a look:
Eversley, a native of Canada, will become the first black GM in franchise history. He comes to the Bulls after front office runs with the Sixers, Wizards, Raptors and a decade at Nike. Michael Reinsdorf has now fully remade the Bulls front office now. https://t.co/O4OYz4MxMe
