Chicago fired executive vice president Arturas Karnišovas and general manager Marc Eversley after another failed season, while Atlanta strengthened its frontcourt by signing Tony Bradley for the playoff push. Both moves signal late-season roster and leadership correction in the East. Multiple reports confirmed Chicago ended the AKME era after a 224-254 run with only one playoff appearance, with Michael Reinsdorf citing the need for a new direction. In Atlanta, reporting said the Hawks waived Caleb Houstan to open a roster spot and signed Bradley after his 38-game season with Indiana.
