While things aren't exactly going great for the Chicago Bulls right now, new information has recently developed that reveals things could be a lot worse. Per Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic, the Bulls came extremely close to having their player mutiny against their coach.

After the worst loss in franchise history on Saturday to the Celtics, Jim Boylen planned on running a grueling practice Sunday to make his point that performances like that are unacceptable.

This idea did not go over well with a young and largely inexperienced Bulls squad. Within hours, the whole season nearly went to shambles, as reported by Mayberry.

“Veteran players spent Saturday night trying to talk Boylen out of a Sunday session, sources said, and when their pleas were rejected, they began bouncing around other ideas in a team-wide group text.

The texts started Saturday night and carried into Sunday morning. One idea that had significant support, according to sources, was the players simply not showing up to the Advocate Center on Sunday. A preliminary plan was to gather at one player’s house and wait for the phones to begin buzzing. That plan fizzled because Lauri Markkanen and Robin Lopez spoke up, voicing their concerns about the unprofessionalism of that potential act of rebellion, as well as the impact such a stance could have on the roster’s younger, less established players, sources said.”

In the end, the players and coaches worked things out after a players-only meeting followed by both sides airing their grievances.

The Bulls are on the verge of completely destroying their season, and both sides will have to compromise if they want any chance at somewhat rebounding from a terrible start.
