Graham recently took over basketball operations responsibilities as the Bulls entered a new era following significant changes throughout the organization.

Malone had overseen the Bulls’ G League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls, and worked within the organization’s player development structure. His dismissal signals that Graham is already beginning to reshape departments tied to scouting, development and roster evaluation.
The Bulls are expected to continue making adjustments throughout the offseason as Graham evaluates the franchise’s infrastructure from top to bottom. Reports have indicated additional changes and hires could follow in the coming weeks.
