Chicago Bulls announce new Vice President of Basketball Operations

The Bulls have made a decision regarding the front office, as they have signed Bryson Graham to lead the front office as the executive vice president of basketball operations. He was most recently the senior vice president of the Atlanta Hawks, joining last season.

Graham was also able to help the Hawks land the 2026 Pelicans first-round pick, one of the most coveted draft picks in the league.

The Bulls issued a statement announcing the hire:

He is an effective communicator, a disciplined and thoughtful decision-maker, and someone who truly connects with players and people. He understands today’s league, today’s players, and what it takes to develop talent and build a winning culture.”

Graham was chosen over Detroit Pistons senior vice president Dennis Lundsey and Minnesota Timberwolves general manager Matt Lloyd. All three had in-person interviews over the weeked before the Bulls made their choice. Now, it will be intriguing to see how Graham leads the team and who will be coaching the team.
