The Chicago Bulls are continuing to reshape their front office under new executive vice president of basketball operations Bryson Graham, with two key vice president hires expected to be finalized this week. According to a source confirmed by the Chicago Tribune, the Bulls are bringing in Stephen Mervis as senior vice president of basketball operations—a role that will place him directly under Graham, similar to a general manager position in past front office structures—and Acie Law IV as vice president of player personnel, a newly created role.

Mervis, who was first reported by ESPN, joins the Bulls after a standout 12-year tenure with the Orlando Magic as an assistant general manager. During his time there, he earned a reputation as a sharp salary-cap strategist with a keen eye for trade valuation and roster construction. At just under 40 years old, Mervis shares a similar trajectory to Graham—an experienced executive on the cusp of a breakout opportunity. He'll serve as Graham's second-in-command, helping the Bulls transform their front office into a more agile and competitive force in the Eastern Conference.

Law, 41, was first reported by Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype. He most recently served as director of player personnel for the Brooklyn Nets this past season, but his résumé also includes a championship ring from the 2024-25 season with the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he spent five years as scouting director. Before transitioning to the front office, Law enjoyed a four-year NBA playing career with five teams, including a 12-game stint with the Bulls during the 2009-10 season. Interestingly, Law and Graham were college teammates at Texas A&M, overlapping for two years—a connection that adds a personal touch to this hire.

Both additions reflect Graham's broader vision of improving the Bulls' ability to identify, acquire, and develop talent—a crucial priority as the team heads into this year's draft with two first-round picks and two second-round selections. The front office overhaul is just the beginning, with more moves expected in the coming weeks, including the hiring of a new head coach and a restructuring of the coaching staff. For Bulls fans, this signals a fresh chapter of strategic growth and ambition.
