The Chicago Bulls have begun the process of searching for a new head of basketball operations, taking early steps to reshape the franchise’s leadership structure.
As part of that search, the Bulls have received permission to interview multiple NBA executives, clearing the way for formal conversations with candidates currently employed by other teams.
Search moves into early phase
Receiving permission to speak with executives is a standard requirement under league guidelines when a team wants to interview personnel under contract elsewhere. With those approvals in place, Chicago can proceed with evaluating candidates as it looks to fill the top decision-making role in its basketball operations department.
No additional details about specific candidates or a timeline for the hire were disclosed.
