Bulls blow it up
We’ve read the backstory here. There seems to be a major rift between Chicago’s players and its front office. This has been a continuing theme through the years, but it’s only taken on a larger meaning with outspoken players such as Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo in the mix.
At 28-29 heading into the unofficial second half of the season, Chicago is pretty much teetering between bottom-end playoff status and irrelevance in the Eastern Conference. It is doing so with drama overtaking the team and no real upside on the roster. This leads us to believe the Bulls will blow it up.
Whether that includes moving Butler to the Boston Celtics remains to be seen. But that’s been bandied about a whole heck of a lot. With the assets Boston has to offer here, it could make some sense.
We’ve also read reports that the Bulls have placed both Rajon Rondo and Nikola Mirotic on the trade block. Depending on the package they are offered for the two, that could also be a possible avenue for the Bulls to mix this thing up.
Let’s not even look at Dwyane Wade, who deserves to play for a contender as his career comes to a conclusion. Would the Bulls be open to moving their home-town guy? That’s also a possibility here.
