The Chicago Bulls made it clear after the season ended that they were going to make some changes this offseason, and they have so far. There is still a lot of offseason left, but they have made some changes already
and while the fan base hasn’t liked some of them, it can still be seen as a positive that the front office is trying to make some moves. The Bulls have been in a down period for far too long, and this fan base is ready for Chicago to get back to where it belongs.
Last season was another disappointing one for the Bulls, and it was clear by the end of it that something isn’t working. Chicago has had better luck than other teams in recent years, but they have been nothing more than mediocre.
They can compete for a playoff spot and occasionally find a way to get in and lose in the first round, but they haven’t shown anything that would suggest something better is coming.
For the second straight season, the Bulls lost in the play-in tournament to the Miami Heat for their season to end. The Bulls finished in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, and they failed to make it into the postseason.
The offseason arrived, and the Bulls have made some moves since then. They traded Alex Caruso and picked up Josh Giddey from the Oklahoma City Thunder, they signed Jalen Smith from the Indiana Pacers and they also lost DeMar DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings in a sign-and-trade. They received Chris Duarte, two second-round draft picks and cash.
