Sometimes, the thing you need ends up falling into your lap despite your best efforts to avoid that very thing over some time. And that appears to be the case for the Chicago Bulls‘ front office, who have been running blind away from a potential rebuild for the team, only to have that rebuild happen to them anyway.
The losses of Lonzo Ball, Zach LaVine, and Patrick Williams to injury had put the Bulls in a position to play younger players like Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, and Onuralp Bitim in bigger roles. In turn, this made their leaps forward possible, with Chicago now in possession of a solid young core to build around.
Speaking on a recent episode, the host of the “Chicago Bulls Central” podcast, Haize, weighed in on this unexpected silver lining to the Bulls’ snake-bit season.
