The Bulls announced the additions on Tuesday. Mervis was hired as senior vice president of basketball operations and Law\u2019s title is vice president of player personnel.<\/p>\n

Graham took over<\/a> as the team\u2019s executive vice president of basketball operations after he was hired this month. He spent this season as Atlanta\u2019s senior vice president of basketball operations after a 15-year run in New Orleans\u2019 front office.<\/p>\n

Mervis\u2019 responsibilities include salary cap strategy and analytics, and Law is responsible for the draft and scouting. Law, who appeared in 12 games for the Bulls during his four NBA seasons, also will be involved in \u201call player personnel matters,\u201d according to the team\u2019s release announcing the moves.<\/p>

Chicago went 31-51 this season while missing the playoffs for the fourth straight year. It has the No. 4 pick in the upcoming NBA draft<\/a> , and one of the next big tasks for the front office is finding a coach to replace Billy Donovan.<\/p>\n

Mervis spent the last 12 seasons with the Orlando Magic, most recently as assistant general manager.<\/p>\n

Law was the director of player personnel for the Brooklyn Nets this season. He also worked for the Oklahoma City Thunder for three seasons from 2022-25, helping the team win the championship last year.<\/p>
