With Lonzo Ball reportedly out for the upcoming season, the Chicago Bulls are unlikely to find themselves challenging for an NBA championship. Both Nikola Vucevic and DeMar DeRozan need a playmaker around them to bring out their best form and began to show slight signs of decline last season.
Earlier this summer, Chicago re-signed Vucevic to a three-year $60 million deal. There have also been rumors of the Bulls wanting to keep DeRozan around long-term. However, it’s clear that Chicago’s primary duo isn’t enough to position the team as a contending force in the Eastern Conference.
