Chicago Bulls
Record Prediction: 38-44
The Chicago Bulls missing the playoffs? After signing Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade this summer? Yes.
I know it’s going out on a limb, per say, but I honestly don’t know how all these pieces are going to mesh together with Jimmy Butler. Unless Wade can somehow discover a legitimate three-point shot at the age of 35, I’m not exactly sure how he’ll compliment Butler.
Even though Rondo is technically coming off one of his better statistical shooting season of his career, I’m not buying that he’ll be able to replicate that this season. Call it fool’s gold, if you want.
The bottom line is that I’m not crazy about how this team fits.
