This summer will be a crucial one for the Chicago Bulls. It’s only been two years since the team made major moves in an attempt to push for the postseason, but they only reached that goal in one of the two seasons. Injuries have certainly gotten in the way, but Chicago may have to face the harsh reality that their current core simply isn’t good enough.
Arturas Karnisovas seems intent on competing with the team in place now, but that could lead to more years of mediocrity. At the same time, a complete roster teardown would significantly set the team back. Instead of either of those ideas, the Bulls could consider trading one of Zach LaVine or DeMar DeRozan. That’s exactly what Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report suggested.
