Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal
Observers around the NBA are expecting the Bulls to blow up this core this season. It’s not hard to read the writing on the wall here.
It’s been suggested that this team is fighting amongst itself. The on-court product does little to prove otherwise. The Bulls are heading nowhere fast.
Some will suggest that they can’t rebuild. After all, they owe their upcoming pick to the Orlando Magic with top 4 protection. Where is there an incentive to tank this season?
Well, if they tank hard enough, they could land a top 4 pick. In any event, the pick is a sunk cost. The Bulls don’t have anything resembling a contender here – they might as well blow it up, and focus on the 2024 draft.
