Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls said they wanted to get younger and more athletic this summer. So, what do they do? They do the complete opposite from that. Because, the Bulls.

Chicago signed Rajon Rondo, after trading Derrick Rose to the Knicks, and then grabbed Dwyane Wade away from the Miami Heat. While those are fine moves, I’m not sure they’re exactly what’s best for this franchise moving forward. Especially with the way the team is constructed.

If the Bulls weren’t going to get younger, at the very least they could’ve addressed their putrid shooting. Adding Rondo and Wade doesn’t exactly accomplish that.

I know Rondo has had two straight over 30 percent shooting years from distance, but he’s just not the guy you want taking your threes. Wade, well, he’s just bad. And, frankly, doesn’t shoot them all that much, anyway.

Thing is, if you just look on paper, the combination of Rondo, Wade and Jimmy Butler is going to get people excited in Chicago. It shouldn’t. This is going to be a rough season, if it all doesn’t go perfectly. And, it almost never does. Not even for the Dubs.
