2. Bobby Webster

The only non-white candidate the Bulls have considered, Bobby Webster, currently serves as GM of the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors, as you may have heard, are quite good, and recently won an NBA championship.

Sure, Masai Ujiri gets the lion’s share of the credit for that, and a lot of people don’t even know Webster, not Ujiri is actually the Raptors GM, but Webster has actually been serving in that role since 2017, and deserves credit for orchestrating some of the game-changing moves that ultimately brought this Canadian franchise its first NBA title.

Drafting Pascal Siakam, the Kawhi Leonard trade, adding Danny Green, trading for Marc Gasol, landing undrafted gems like Fred VanVleet — Webster had a hand in all of those. Between his experience (he’s been in an NBA office since 2006) and youth (he’s the youngest GM in the league at age 36), he’d be an impressive candidate to fix a once-prestigious organization like the Chicago Bulls.

This is one option Chicago fans should actually be proud of the Bulls for interviewing.
