The Chicago Bulls are firmly stuck in the middle. They have a Big 3 of All-Star-caliber players, but with Lonzo Ball missing significant time, they have been unable to string together enough success to win. In fact, in two years together, their current core has just won a single playoff game.
To make things worse, the Bulls don’t exactly have a clear path forward. While some fans have been begging them to hit the reset button, Chicago continues to press forward, adding win-now players to their team without significantly changing the outlook of the top-end talent. That could just lead to more middling results.
That said, trading Zach LaVine definitely isn’t in their plans unless the price is right, and according to Jamal Collier of ESPN, their asking price is sky-high.
