What if an NBA front office was run by artificial intelligence? No bias. No politics. Just ruthless strategy. That’s what I set out to test when I fired Chicago Bulls GM Marc Eversley and replaced him with an AI named Alex Carter—a self-generated executive with one goal: turn the Bulls into a championship team within 10 years.
Here’s what happened in Year 1 of the AI Era in Chicago:
🏀 Key Trades & Roster Shakeups
• Traded Nikola Vucevic to the Miami Heat for Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and a 1st-round pick
• Shipped Kevin Huerter back to Atlanta, landed Bogdan Bogdanović and a protected 1st
• Moved Lonzo Ball and Javon Freeman-Liberty to clear cap space
• Flipped Malik Beasley to the Grizzlies mid-season for a future 2nd-rounder
• Dealt Patrick Williams to the Nets for Dorian Finney-Smith and the Suns’ top-8 protected 2028 pick
💸 Cap Space & Draft Capital
• Cleared over $50 million in salary cap space
• Acquired two 1st-round picks and two 2nd-rounders
• Positioned for a double lottery selection in 2026 (#4 and #18 projected)
🌟 Core Player Evaluation
• Built around Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey, Trey Jones, and Jalen Smith
• “Evaluation tier” included: Patrick Williams, Kobe White, Ayo Dosunmu, Javon Freeman-Liberty
• Targeted future upside while navigating the salary cap and CBA
📈 Year One Results
• Finished 27–55 (13th in the East)
• Matas Buzelis averaged 16 PPG, 6 REB, 2 AST, 35% 3PT
• Rebuilt the roster without hitting the luxury tax
• Positioned for long-term success with flexibility and draft ammo

AI GM Alex Carter says: “Year one was necessary. We stripped it down. Now we control the board. The real game starts now.”
