Wes Wilcox, Danny Ferry interview for Bulls front office job

Wes Wilcox

The Chicago Bulls are in the process of interviewing candidates who they believe have a chance to run their basketball operations department, and Wes Wilcox and Danny Ferry are two of the names on the list.

Wilcox, who was formerly the general manager of the Atlanta Hawks, and Ferry, who also worked for the Hawks’ front office in addition to several other teams, reportedly interviewed for the Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations job.

Wilcox began with the Hawks as their assistant GM in 2012 and was promoted to GM in 2015. Atlanta reached the postseason every year Wilcox was a part of the team’s front office, and they have missed the playoffs the past two years. Wilcox resigned in 2017 and now works as an analyst for NBA TV.

Ferry has history as a Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers GM. He has been working with the Pelicans since 2016, though only became the interim GM two months ago. His comments about Luol Deng contributed to his ousting in Atlanta.

The Bulls are looking to hire an executive who would have full control over basketball decisions, and they have reportedly already been turned down by one candidate. It’s unclear if there is a frontrunner for the job at this point, though they will likely take their time with the process.
