Chicago Bulls organizational rebuilding process

Overview

The Chicago Bulls are undergoing a significant organizational rebuild heading into the 2026-2027 NBA season. Under the leadership of Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Bryson Graham, supported by Stephen Mervis and Acie Law, the franchise is prioritizing long-term growth. The front office has seen several personnel shifts, including the promotion of Brian Hagen to Senior Vice President of Player Personnel and the appointment of Alex Kaufman as Senior Manager of Basketball Operations and General Manager of the Windy City Bulls.

On the court, head coach Tiago Splitter leads a roster centered around guard Josh Giddey. Entering his sixth NBA season, the 24-year-old Australian playmaker has recorded 31 career triple-doubles. Giddey has expressed optimism regarding the team’s new leadership and the addition of rookie Caleb Wilson.

Wilson, the No. 4 overall draft pick, has emerged as a leading candidate for NBA Rookie of the Year according to Polymarket odds. Following a preseason debut where he scored in double figures against the Phoenix Suns, Wilson demonstrated significant scoring versatility in subsequent preseason matchups against the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets.

After a heavy 43-point loss to the Toronto Raptors in their season opener, the Bulls secured their first victory with a 132-125 win against the Milwaukee Bucks, fueled by Wilson’s 21 points and Giddey’s nine assists. In his home debut at the United Center, Wilson recorded a 30-point, 14-rebound double-double in a loss to the Washington Wizards. His early season production of 67 points through three games places him alongside franchise figures Michael Jordan and Charles Oakley for rookie scoring impact.
