The Tanking Teams of the 2017-2018 NBA Season
The NBA doesn’t like the word tanking, but the wording isn’t as important. Six teams are heading into this NBA season more concerned about losing and a good draft position than winning and making the playoffs. The Atlanta Hawks, suddenly stripped of all their recent talent; Chicago Bulls who waited too long before going in this direction; New York Knicks, free of Carmelo Anthony; the direction-less Orlando Magic; the super-young and talented Phoenix Suns; and the not too-far-from-competing Indiana Pacers.

Derrick Rose Relying on the Cleveland Cavaliers to Save His Dying NBA Career

But those who watched him play and followed him over the course of last season, know it wasn’t a good campaign, nor did Rose enjoy his time in the Big Apple.

NBA : Chicago Bulls Don’t Have to Buyout Dwyane Wade to Start Their Rebuild
By trading away their best player, the Chicago Bulls basically started their rebuilding phase. Some would say a year or maybe two too late, but that’s water under the bridge. The hottest rumor coming out of Chi-town regarding their basketball team is the will they or won’t they buyout Dwyane Wade. With just one year on his deal, there’s no reason to let go of him unless it’s him that’s pushing to leave.

NBA Rumors: Lakers, Knicks, Bulls & Heat Interested in Dion Waiters
Last season was exactly the kind of year Dion Waiters needed to rebuild standing in the NBA.

NBA Rumors: Chicago Bulls Went for the Long, Painful Rebuild
Trading Jimmy Butler wasn’t the worst thing in the world to do for the Chicago Bulls – a rebuild was probably going to happen at some point. But the trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t really put them in a position to head in the right direction right away. It probably means this is going to be a long, painful process.

Chicago Bulls Trying to Make the Playoffs and Redefine ‘Happy Ending’
This has been a weird season for the Chicago Bulls. A team built without thinking about the future or about the now, that fell apart along the way only to be put together near the end. This might be over with a playoff appearance, but in the long run, losing to the worst team in the NBA that’s going to rest six rotation players could be the best thing for the Bulls.
