The Chicago Bulls are in a tricky situation. Their current roster isn’t good enough to win a championship, but the front office seems intent on keeping the team together and running it back. At least, that’s what Arturas Karnisovas has continuously conveyed. Based on his comments, the core of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic will probably be back next season.
However, while they may be able to string together a playoff push next year, their future is bleak. They just paid off the Vucevic trade but will now owe the San Antonio Spurs a first in 2025 from when they acquired DeRozan. They don’t have a great future, and trading their stars could help fix that.
