The Bulls dismissed Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley on April 6 after the team went just 224-254 across six seasons under their leadership. The team had not qualified for the postseason since 2021-22. Head coach Billy Donovan also announced after the regular season ended that he was parting ways with the franchise.
Lewin joined the Celtics in 2012 after beginning his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers front office. He has steadily risen through the ranks in Boston during the past decade, serving as director of scouting and director of player personnel before being promoted to assistant GM for the last four years.
The Celtics lost another key part of their front office last offseason when Austin Ainge left Boston and took the president of basketball operations position with the Utah Jazz .
The Bulls are "on pace" to hire a new top executive before the NBA Draft Combine on May 10, per Fischer. The Bulls went 31-51 last season and have two first-round picks (their own and Portland's) in this year's draft.
