Looking At The Bulls
The Bulls are coming off another down year where they were the 12th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 31-51 record.
They have been unable to make the NBA playoffs since the 2022 season when Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan were still on the roster.
Over the offseason, the Bulls hired Tiago Splitter to be their head coach.
ESPN’s Shams Charania wrote (on June 15): “BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are finalizing the hire of Portland Trail Blazers interim Tiago Splitter as the franchise’s new head coach, sources tell ESPN. Splitter succeeds Billy Donovan as the Bulls’ coach after stepping into the head job and excelling in Portland last season.”
