Phoenix Suns Receive: G/F DeMar DeRozan

Of course, this is not the type of move the Bulls were hoping to make this season. They wanted to be in the championship picture.

After all, they’ve been shifting into win-now mode for some time. When the Bulls moved Wendell Carter Jr. and draft capital to the Orlando Magic in exchange for Nikola Vucevic, they made their intentions clear: this team didn’t plan on tanking any time soon.

When they added DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball the following summer, that became even more evident. The Bulls intended on building an offensive juggernaut around Zach LaVine. With the pieces they had, they’d have one of the better offensive attacks in the NBA.

Sure. On the other hand, this team may lack the defensive structure to truly compete for the title.

If 2021-22 was any indication, that’s likely the case. The Bulls won 46 games and found themselves eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

Could they really blow it up?
