NBA Trade Deadline priority: Find defensive help 

The Chicago Bulls have been nothing short but impressive this season. The impact that DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball have had on this team has been something that was not foreseen. They need to get healthy, but this team is going to be a handful in the playoffs.

One big – and legit – question that this team needs to remedy is their defensive issues. They have the second-worst defense of all the teams that are currently projected to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

And that’s a big problem. It may not seem that way right now, but you can bet that it will be a factor when the playoffs begin. The Bulls need to get healthy, but this team is not winning anything if they can’t defend.
