Our Chicago Bulls are barreling towards the 2026 NBA Draft — where they’ll have two first-round picks and a pair of seconds — without either a team president or a head coach officially employed.
But the Reinsdorfs, John Paxson and co. have been busy looking for that new front office leader to replace dismissed president Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley.
The Bulls’ reported final four contenders for the lead front office gig are:
Atlanta Hawks senior vice president of basketball operations Bryson Graham
Detroit Pistons senior VP Dennis Lindsey
Minnesota Timberwolves general manager Matt Lloyd
Boston Celtics assistant GM Dave Lewin
Chicago is apparently striving to bring a new decision maker aboard before the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, which kicks off during the second week of May — after May 10’s Draft Lottery.
Per a new report, Chicago might already be circling both a new president among this foursome — and, on a related note, a new coach.
