| | | | | Good morning, Chicago. For the Bulls, there’s no time like the present to begin making changes. Barely a week has passed since the Bulls hired Bryson Graham as their new executive vice president of basketball operations. But time moves quickly in an NBA front office — especially for the Bulls, who are diving into a critical period of the offseason after winning big in the draft lottery. Graham made the first tweak to the Bulls front office, according to multiple sources, by releasing Windy City Bulls general manager Josh Malone, with more changes and additions potentially on the horizon as he evaluates his existing staff. Amid the chaos of organizational restructuring, the Bulls also began their interviews with players Tuesday at the NBA draft combine at Wintrust Arena. They are scheduled to meet with roughly 20 potential candidates for the Nos. 4 and 15 picks, per a source.
