Chicago Bulls are revamping personnel after another unsuccessful season. The team has multiple picks in the 2026 NBA Draft and expects several veterans to become free agents, which could change the roster. New executive vice president of basketball operations Bryson Graham has already built a retooled front office, naming Stephen Mervis as senior vice president and Acie Law IV as VP of player personnel. The Bulls are also seeking to replace former head coach Billy Donovan. Lamar Skeeter, a Charlotte Hornets assistant coach, is a candidate the Bulls have sought permission to interview. Skeeter is viewed as a rising young coaching mind with experience moving from the G League to the NBA.
"Our Chicago Bulls have been totally revamping their personnel behind the scenes this spring, following yet another utterly futile season under ex-president Arturas Karnisovas and former general manager Marc Eversley. With the Nos. 4, 15, 38 and 56 picks headed our way in the 2026 NBA Draft - and as many as seven vets slated to become free agents this summer - Chicago will likely look pretty different on the hardwood, too."
"New executive vice president of basketball operations Bryson Graham, 39, has already taken steps to build out his retooled front office. Stephen Mervis will serve as Chicago's senior vice president of basketball operations and one-time Bulls guard Acie Law IV is the club's new VP of player personnel. He appears to have turned his attention to replacing Hall of Fame former head coach Billy Donovan, who left soon after the season."
"Charlotte Hornets assistant coach Lamar Skeeter, 37, would continue the Bulls' youth movement beyond the court. The Stein Line's Jake Fischer recently reported that Chicago has sought permission to interview Skeeter. As of this writing, here's who else we know is being targeted by the Bulls:"
"Skeeter is a formidable young mind on the rise. Any time a team hires a first-time head coach, of course, they are assuming some risk. You can't fully discern how that coach will comport themselves when given the keys to the kingdom based on past experience. Sometimes, it turns out you have a Tom Thibodeau on your hands and should be commended for the hire. Sometimes, you're saddled with a Jim Boylen (or a Jim Boylan)."
