About this Article

Have the Bulls really gone from championship contenders to a team that should consider tanking next season to get a lottery pick? Well, yes and no. They are facing tough circumstances with both Derrick Rose and Luol Deng likely to miss the start of next season. But they should still be planning for the playoffs when making offseason moves.
