Bulls Closing In On Sean Sweeney? Why Bryson Graham May Be Ahead Of The Curve

The Chicago Bulls pulled one of the great curveballs in franchise history this week. Everybody expected them to stick to their comfort zone in searching for a new Vice President of Football Operations. That meant hiring Minnesota Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd, who had years of experience working in the Bulls’ scouting department under John Paxson. However, the Reinsdorfs pivoted to Atlanta Hawks general manager Bryson Graham instead. The 39-year-old wasn’t even considered a favorite, but received plenty of praise from people inside the league.
