Bulls Front Office Shake-Up Gets BIGGER With Stephen Mervis & Acie Law Hires

Published 2 days, 2 hours ago

Description

🚨 The Chicago Bulls’ front office rebuild under Bryson Graham is moving fast — and two major hires are now taking shape. 🚨

The Bulls are finalizing a deal to hire Orlando Magic assistant GM Stephen Mervis as Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations under new Executive Vice President Bryson Graham. Chicago is also hiring Brooklyn Nets executive Acie Law IV as Vice President of Player Personnel.

For Bulls fans, these moves matter.

Mervis spent 12 years rising through the Orlando Magic front office, specializing in strategy and player evaluation. That is a major addition for a Bulls organization that needs more structure, stronger internal decision-making, and a modernized approach to roster building.

Law brings a different but equally important background. He held scouting and draft-focused roles with the Sacramento Kings and Oklahoma City Thunder from 2018 to 2025 before joining Brooklyn. Law also played four NBA seasons, including a brief stop with the Bulls during the 2009-10 season, and was teammates with Graham at Texas A&M.

Haize breaks down why the Bulls adding Mervis and Law could be a major sign that Graham is building a more collaborative, evaluation-driven front office. After years of frustration with unclear direction, Chicago now appears to be putting more voices in the room with experience in scouting, strategy, player personnel, and team-building.

But the real question remains: will this front office turn strong resumes into better decisions?

With the Bulls holding major draft capital and entering a critical offseason, these hires could help shape everything from the 2026 NBA Draft to roster evaluation, player development, trades, and the long-term rebuild.

Tap in with Chicago Bulls Central as Haize reacts to the latest Bulls front office hires and what they mean for the future of the franchise.
