With the NBA season only a few weeks from officially starting, the Chicago Bulls are one of many teams that look to do better this season than they did last time. As many fans might be aware, the Bulls managed to finish last season with a record of 40 wins and 42 losses. Their record earned them the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference.
However, the team ended up losing the 8th seed to the Miami Heat and were eliminated from postseason contention, As a result, this NBA offseason has been filled with trade rumors regarding the Bulls potentially trading away one of their franchise stars in Zach LaVine.
