The Chicago Bulls have some big questions to answer, mainly around who will be working for the team next year after the team fired multiple members of its front office and head coach Billy Donovan announced his exit from the team. The Bulls have already begun their search for their new front office regime.

Recently, Bulls insider Joe Cowley responded to a fan’s question on social media regarding who he views as the favorite to take over as Chicago’s next general manager.
“If I was a betting man I would put whale money on (Matt) Lloyd, and a small side bet on (Dave) Lewin also included if the odds were right,” reported Cowley on X, formerly Twitter.
Matt Lloyd is currently the general manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves , having worked as Tim Connelly’s right-hand man in constructing that organization’s current run of success, so it’s no surprise that Chicago would be interested in plucking from a team that has made the conference finals in each of the last two seasons.
Meanwhile, Lewin is the assistant general manager of the Boston Celtics , who have been among the league’s most consistently strong organizations over the last decade-plus, and surprised many by winning well over 50 games in what was thought to be a gap year this season with Jayson Tatum sidelined.

Whoever the Bulls end up bringing in for their new front office will have many questions to answer on the roster, including how the team wants to approach this free agency period, when Chicago will have money to spend.
The Bulls are coming off a 2025-26 season in which they missed out on the postseason for the first time in five years.
In any case, the Bulls will want to come to a decision sooner rather than later.
