Overview

  • The Bulls, which announced the move Monday, appointed Atlanta executive Bryson Graham as executive vice president of basketball operations and primary decision‑maker.
  • His first tasks include hiring a head coach and general manager, building out the front office, and preparing for the draft lottery and combine.
  • Graham spent 15 years in New Orleans rising from intern to general manager and then moved to Atlanta, earning praise for identifying players such as Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones, Dyson Daniels, and Nickeil Alexander‑Walker.
  • Reports say Chicago interviewed finalists Matt Lloyd and Dennis Lindsey last week before choosing Graham, with team leadership touting his talent evaluation and plans to modernize the operation.
  • The hire follows April dismissals of Artūras Karnišovas and Marc Eversley and Billy Donovan’s exit, with Graham now set to deploy two first‑round picks and about $60 million in cap space to reshape the roster.
