Trading any one of LaVine, Vucevic, White or Dosunmu makes the Bulls worse now.

Playing Buzelis more makes them worse now (better later!).

Playing Giddey in crunch time makes them worse now.

Again, so many ways to further tilt downward.

If your argument is the Bulls are too good to have a bottom-3 record in the NBA, I get your point. But this team isn’t far from being the 5th-worst team or so with a move or two.

I have no idea why some believe the Bulls are too good for their own good. LaVine, Vucevic and White have played well/been on fire for stretches and the Bulls are about to be 5-9 anyway.

And this team still has so many levers to pull to get worse to keep its top 10-protected pick.
