Report: Bulls Narrowing Search for Top Executive Role
The team is casting a wider net after firing its top two executives and wants to hire a new decision-maker before the mid-May draft combine.
- On Monday, the Chicago Bulls began their search for a new head of basketball operations, receiving permission to interview six candidates. The team aims to finalize the hire before or just after the mid-May draft combine.
- The search follows sweeping front-office changes two weeks ago, when the Bulls fired executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley after a six-year run that produced just one playoff appearance.
- Candidates under consideration include Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd, Pistons senior vice president Dennis Lindsey, Hawks senior vice president Bryson Graham, Cavaliers GM Mike Gansey, Spurs assistant GM Dave Telep, and basketball agent Austin Brown.
- Bulls CEO and president Michael Reinsdorf emphasized the franchise intends to retain head coach Billy Donovan, stating that any candidate must be 'sold on' the coach's championship and playoff history.
- With $65 million in cap space and all future draft picks retained, the Bulls aim for a 'clean slate' and intend to cast a wider net than their 2020 search for Karnisovas.
