Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are another team that will likely be facing some pressure this season. After backing into the playoffs last season and not doing much once they got there, with as much talent that is on the roster, something has to change in Chicago. And if they falter once again this season, there’s going to be some loud objections.
Last offseason, the Bulls spent big money on Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan. If this team can’t produce in the playoffs, it could go down as one of the biggest disappointments in recent history. It’s quite unfortunate that Ball is battling through injury issues that may once again shorten his season, but it’s something that this front office will have to answer to.
The Bulls have talent on their roster. If they fail to capitalize on that for two years in a row, the front office will have some explaining to do. Chicago needs to show some level of improvement this season, one way or another.
