The NBA trade deadline is usually full of monster plot twists, swings, and turns. Thursday was no exception. The NBA did not disappoint from a host of quality teams adding depth and rotation players (and less so) to bona fide title contenders like the 76ers nabbing James Harden. What is The Association, if not for superstars and good players featured in new cities seemingly every year?
But there was one notable team missing from the fracas of Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania’s Twitter accounts: The Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls currently sit in third place in the Eastern Conference. That’s despite missing basically half of their core players like Alex Caruso, Lonzo Ball, and Patrick Williams. In a year where All-Star starter DeMar DeRozan is arguably having the best season of his career, it might have paid off to add a player or two, perhaps even trading the 2020 No. 4 overall pick in Williams. You never know when a title window will manifest and, just as quickly, when it’ll disappear. It’s a cruel league in a cruel sport.
