Magic Assistant GM Stephen Mervis Hired by Bulls as Senior VP
The Chicago Bulls are finalizing an agreement to hire Stephen Mervis, the Orlando Magic's assistant general manager, as their new senior vice president of basketball operations. This appointment places Mervis under the leadership of Bryson Graham, the Bulls' newly hired executive vice president. Mervis, a Winter Haven native, spent twelve years with the Magic, where he was promoted to assistant general manager in July 2024. His responsibilities included salary cap management, strategic planning, and overseeing scouting evaluations. Recognized as a rising star in the NBA, Mervis was named to The Athletic’s NBA 40 Under 40 List in 2024. The hiring is part of a broader front-office restructuring in Chicago following the dismissal of Artūras Karnišovas and Marc Eversley due to limited playoff success. Additionally, the Bulls are reportedly hiring Acie Law as vice president of player personnel. Both franchises are currently seeking new head coaches, with the Magic recently parting ways with Jamahl Mosley and the Bulls seeing Billy Donovan resign. Mervis holds degrees in finance and law from the University of Florida and Nova Southeastern University.
