The Chicago Bulls are actively seeking a new head of basketball operations after making significant front office changes, including the dismissal of executive vice president Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley on April 6. The team has received permission to interview several candidates, including Matt Lloyd (Timberwolves GM), Dennis Lindsey (Pistons senior VP), Bryson Graham (Hawks senior VP), Mike Gansey (Cavaliers GM), and Dave Telep (Spurs assistant GM). Additionally, they plan to speak with Austin Brown, co-head of CAA's basketball division. The Bulls aim to complete the hiring process by the mid-May draft combine. CEO Michael Reinsdorf emphasized the importance of retaining head coach Billy Donovan, stating that candidates must support him. Donovan acknowledged Reinsdorf's endorsement but remains focused on the team's best interests. The Bulls are looking to broaden their search compared to the previous hiring process that brought Karnisovas on board in 2020.
