The Chicago Bulls lost DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso this summer, prompting hopes for a rebuild centered around a top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. However, GM Arturas Karnisovas recently stated on the ‘Mully and Haugh Show’ that the team aims to win next season, emphasizing the importance of teaching players how to win.
Despite being mediocre for years, the Bulls have not had a top-five draft pick since 2020 and have only made the playoffs once in that time. With young talents like Coby White and Patrick Williams, fans wonder why the team isn’t pursuing a full rebuild instead of trying to compete.
Karnisovas’s statements might be a strategy to present the Bulls as competitive while quietly planning to tank. This season could be about enhancing trade value for players like Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine, especially since there’s little interest in them on the market. Without a clear direction, the Bulls risk remaining stuck in a cycle of mediocrity.
