Building out the front office was always priority No. 1 for the Bulls’ new man in charge Bryson Graham and that construction project officially broke ground on Tuesday.
As multiple reports indicated last week, Stephen Mervis and Acie Law IV were the first two big pieces added to Graham’s front office, as Mervis will serve as the senior vice president of basketball operations and Law will be the vice president of player personnel.
Keep moving more desks into the second floor of the Advocate Center because Graham is hardly finished.
Since being named executive vice president of basketball operations earlier this month by team president Michael Reinsdorf, Graham not only promised to advance the Bulls from the days of playing checkers to now start playing chess, but was given an empty checkbook by Reinsdorf to do just that.
Mervis and Law were just the first two pieces added to the board and smart additions at that.
Mervis has a nose for salary cap strategy and analytics, spending the last 12 seasons climbing the ranks in Orlando – most recently as their assistant general manager. The strategy background is key, as the Bulls seemingly fell behind on that front during the Arturas Karnisovas regime, according to Reinsdorf.
As for Law, he spent last season as the director of player personnel for Brooklyn, but prior to that he was with the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder from 2022-25, serving as the director of amateur scouting.
It doesn’t hurt that Law and Graham were college teammates back at Texas A&M, but Law’s reputation as a talent finder had taken off in his last few years with the Thunder.
