  • The Tanking Teams of the 2017-2018 NBA Season

    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

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

    18 points per game, 4.4 assists per game, shooting 47.1% from the field. Based on that stat line alone, it would seem Derrick Rose had a pretty good season in 2016-2017, his first and only on the New York Knicks. 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

    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. It’s not surprising to find him weighing offers from a number of teams, with the Miami Heat (who he played for last season), Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks all waiting to hear from him, while the Chicago Bulls are also hovering somewhere in the background.

  • NBA Rumors: Chicago Bulls Went for the Long, Painful Rebuild

    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.

  • NBA Rumors: Cleveland Cavaliers Mess, Effect on Chicago Bulls & Jimmy Butler

    NBA Rumors: Cleveland Cavaliers Mess, Effect on Chicago Bulls & Jimmy Butler

    The Cleveland Cavaliers firing general manager David Griffin so close to draft night raises a lot of questions marks. According to rumors it leaves LeBron James furious, Kyrie Irving and several others thinking about pushing for trades, and the situation with the Chicago Bulls and Jimmy Butler isn’t looking good either.

  • NBA Rumors: Bulls, Heat, Pacers, Nets, Jazz & Bucks Interested in Drafting Hamidou Diallo

    NBA Rumors: Bulls, Heat, Pacers, Nets, Jazz & Bucks Interested in Drafting Hamidou Diallo

    One of the more interesting prospects in the 2017 NBA draft, if he doesn’t decide to “drop out” and return to college basketball, is Hamidou Diallo, who is drawing interest from quite a few teams, including the Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz, Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat.

    10 Best Memes of the Chicago Bulls Eliminated by the Boston Celtics

    And so it ends for the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs; with a whimper of an effort to stay alive against the Boston Celtics, and mainly plenty of memes noting how pitiful they looked the moment Rajon Rondo went down with an injury.

  • Reckoning Day for the Bulls, Clippers & Hawks

    Reckoning Day for the Bulls, Clippers & Hawks

    Three of the remaining first round series in the 2017 NBA playoffs head into game 6, and three teams are playing with their backs to the wall: The Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers and Atlanta Hawks, all down 3-2 in their series. For the Clippers it’s an even more difficult situation, because game 6 is on […]

  • Chicago Bulls Trying to Make the Playoffs and Redefine ‘Happy Ending’

    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.
