Chicago Bulls Receive: F Andrew Wiggins, F Jonathan Kuminga, 2026 First-Round Pick (GSW)

Golden State Warriors Receive: G Zach LaVine

It’s ironic to open a piece involving the Chicago Bulls with a word on dynasties and not mention them. Throughout the 1990s, they defined the term.

In fact, the Jordan Bulls were the most successful team of the modern era. Throughout the decade, teams could only win the championship when MJ decided to take a year off. Unfortunately, the Bulls have struggled to replicate that success ever since.

Last year, they entered the season with a renewed sense of optimism. Having signed DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball to add to a core group featuring Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, the Bulls had a star-studded cast.

The results were underwhelming, as they won 46 games and got eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
