NBA Power Rankings: Lakers eyeing big move; Clippers are broken?

24. Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls are a ship that is sinking quickly. It’s pretty unfortunate considering the hope surrounding this team just a couple of years ago after a summer in which they landed DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball during the offseason. Nevertheless, the Bulls are an example of how quickly things can change in the NBA. But now that the writing is on the wall, the ball is in the Bulls’ court to make the necessary changes.

At least for now, all the noise surrounding the Bulls is centered around Zach LaVine and the possibility that he could be traded. The way the recent reporting has trended, it would be shocking if LaVine was not traded by the NBA Trade Deadline. In fact, there’s a good chance that it ends up happening before.

Once the Bulls do trade LaVine, that’s when the fire sale can probably take place. That means DeRozan and Alex Caruso could be followed shortly after. It could make for an intriguing next few months for the Bulls and their future.
