23. Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls have found their way to the limelight several times this season. It started with their “players-only” meeting that was conducted after just the first game of the season. It has then carried over into the early-season trade whispers that continue to follow them. Considering they’re 2-5 with a roster that should have no business being 2-5 at this point in the season, it’s understandable.
Add in that there were Zach LaVine trade whispers during the offseason and that DeMar DeRozan is in the final year of his contract with the team, and it’s not that outlandish that the Bulls could emerge as a possible trade deadline seller candidate. The big question is whether or not it will even come to that for the Bulls.
On paper, Chicago should probably think hard about retooling their roster. However, the front office and ownership may not be all that willing to spark up another rebuild or retooling. Nevertheless, the Bulls have some big decisions to make over the next couple of months.
