The Chicago Bulls have mapped out their future. This is a team which has been struggling for nearly a decade. Generally what a team does when it feels that they are stuck in mediocrity is blow their roster or make some star signings. But the Bulls are running things in a different manner. They haven’t achieved anything significant for a long time but they always refuse to rebuild. The management never inclined towards starting from scratch. Well, time changes everything and it seems that it has managed to force the Bulls to alter their plans.
What does a rebuilding team do? They flip anything valuable on their roster for assets. If reports are to be believed, we might see the Chicago Bulls pulling off something like that in the coming days. What are their plans? Which players are going to leave? Which teams have shown interest? Here is all the information you need about the Chicago Bulls and their future plans.
