They failed to acknowledge their reality and refused to put the team on a healthier path forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Media Day 2026, new executive vice president of basketball operations Bryson Graham was not shy about telling it like it is: the Bulls are in a rebuild. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is the best path forward. And that should be considered a good thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust because the word rebuild is out there doesn\u2019t mean that this can\u2019t be fun, this can\u2019t be exciting,\u201d Graham said Monday. \u201cWe get to understand what this team is going to look like and what we\u2019re working towards. So we want to establish competitive standards right from the beginning. That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to be about, and even if the results haven\u2019t kind of caught up to the process, that\u2019s okay. This is going to be a fun time. It\u2019s going to be an exciting time. This foundation is being laid, brick by brick, to bring a championship back to the city of Chicago. Raising that banner keeps me up at night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>              <img alt=\"Diehard\" class=\"h-28 md:h-36 w-auto mx-auto mb-4 ewww_webp\" src-img=\"https:\/\/cdn.allcitynetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/07\/04143047\/diehard_badge_CHGO.png\" src-webp=\"https:\/\/cdn.allcitynetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/07\/04143047\/diehard_badge_CHGO.png.webp\" data-eio=\"j\"\/><\/p>\n<p>          Unlock Your Full Chicago Bulls Experience<\/p>\n<p>This premium content is a Chicago Bulls Diehard exclusive.<\/p>\n<p>        Diehard Level 1<\/p>\n<p>\n  $36<br \/>\n  \/year\n  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text-[11px] font-secondary uppercase tracking-wider text-accent mb-1.5\">Most Popular<\/p>\n<p>        Diehard Pro Level<\/p>\n<p>\n  $80<br \/>\n  \/year\n  <\/p>\n<p>        Diehard Premium Level<\/p>\n<p>\n  $119<br \/>\n  \/year\n  <\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/allchgo.com\/dashboard\/subscription\/\" class=\"btn-primary btn-xl uppercase text-white w-full\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n          Manage Membership<br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-sm text-base-light mt-4\">\n          You&#8217;re already a Diehard!
