In a recent news conference, Chicago Bulls CEO Michael Reinsdorf addressed the team's struggles, stating, "It flows up to me, and I take responsibility." He introduced Bryson Graham as the new VP of basketball operations, highlighting Graham's extensive experience with the Atlanta Hawks and New Orleans Pelicans. Graham, who has a reputation as an elite talent evaluator, made it clear that the Bulls are in for a rebuild, stating, "I'm not going to mince words... that's not the case" regarding the team's current state. The Bulls have not won a playoff series since the 2014-15 season and have only reached the playoffs twice in the last decade. Graham will have the chance to reshape the team, with the Bulls holding two first-round picks in the 2026 draft and approximately $60 million in cap space. He also plans to start searching for a new head coach next week, emphasizing the need for someone who can develop young talent. Reinsdorf assured Graham of the necessary resources to build a competitive team, including the willingness to pay the luxury tax if the team is in contention for a championship, a move the Bulls have only made once in their history.
