Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls made significant changes to their team in 2021 when they added DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Alex Caruso to a team that already included all-stars Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic. This showed the fanbase and the rest of the league that they were serious about winning after many losing seasons in the team’s past.
However, these plans had not panned out the way they may have hoped. They were a super competitive and fun team to watch when Lonzo Ball was healthy. Unfortunately, that simply hasn’t been the case since early 2022. After suffering a knee injury midway through the 2021-22 NBA season, Ball has yet to be able to find his way back on the floor. And the Bulls haven’t been able to recover.
This past season, the Bulls completely missed the playoffs after losing to the Miami Heat in the Play-In Tournament.
This group simply does not have many ways to improve the roster. If Chicago isn’t able to win this season, I can’t help but wonder if some big changes are on the way.
