For the Chicago Bulls to take the next step in the Eastern Conference, we explore four offseason goals for the team to prioritize this summer. 

If you look at the overall result for the Chicago Bulls and compare it to previous seasons, it was a massive success. But the success of the first half of the season compared to the final outcome left Bulls fans hungry for more.

The Bulls have a lot of work to do this offseason if they want to contend for years to come. They need to keep their stars, develop their young guys, upgrade on defense and stay healthy long-term. With the effort the Bulls had this year in the second half of the season, they will not contend or even threaten the Eastern conference in the future.

The first half of the season was a tease, while the second half was a repeat of the last six years.

After so many years of mediocre play, Bulls fans deserve a team that can contend and deliver in the playoffs. With such a historic franchise, the Bulls organization must earn the league’s respect with success and results that the Bulls once had many years ago.
