Bulls hiring Bryson Graham as next VP of basketball operations amid search for new GM, head coach

The Chicago Bulls have hired Bryson Graham as their new vice president of basketball operations. Graham spent 15 years with the New Orleans Pelicans front office, eventually becoming general manager, before joining the Atlanta Hawks as senior vice president last season. He replaces Artūras Karnišovas, who was fired near the end of the regular season along with general manager Marc Eversley. The Bulls went 31-51 this season and missed the playoffs, and have not won a playoff series since 2015. Graham will now lead the team's search for a new general manager and head coach, with the Bulls having both their own lottery pick and an additional first-round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, as well as about $60 million in cap space available.
