Power ranking the Bulls’ interesting candidates for top executive position
7. Bryan Colangelo
Five days is how long it took for the Bulls to get clowned for making an actual wise decision and trying to move on from GarPax. The reason for the ridicule? Well, they brought it upon themselves:
The Bulls interviewed former 76ers president Bryan Colangelo for top basketball operations position, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Colangelo also has been lead executive in Toronto and Phoenix.

Bryan Colangelo, for those who don’t remember, had a successful tenure with the Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors in his first two stints in the league, but was ousted from his job with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2018 when several of his burner Twitter accounts were discovered by The Ringer. Some of the tweets from those accounts revealed sensitive, private information and even disparaged people and players within the organization.
When the Markelle Fultz debacle is not even the worst thing on your resume, you must have really screwed up somewhere down the line. Leave it to the freaking Bulls to consider “taking a step forward” by interviewing a guy who was fired from his last gig amidst a viral scandal.
