Frequently Asked Questions
What were the Bulls' biggest weaknesses during the 2021-22 season?
The Bulls' bench was abysmal, ranking 29th in the league in both points per game (26.7 PPG) and rebounding (13.4 RPG). The bench simply couldn't keep the Bulls in games when the starters were off the court, and this problem carried over into the playoffs.
Should the Bulls trade Nikola Vucevic this offseason?
The Bulls should listen to trade offers for Vucevic but shouldn't rush to move him. He was the best player in the playoff series and is one of the healthiest on the roster, so they should only trade him if they get another starting-caliber center in return.
Will the Bulls re-sign Zach LaVine to a max contract?
The Bulls should sign LaVine to a supermax contract extension despite his struggles in the playoffs. He averaged 24.4 PPG while playing through a knee injury, and there aren't better options available in free agency.
Which Bulls bench players should the team keep for next season?
Only Alex Caruso and Ayo Dosunmu should remain on the Bulls' bench. The rest of the bench players need to be replaced with better offensive contributors who can actually help when called upon.
How much did the Bulls improve from the previous season?
The Bulls increased their win total by 15 games, going from 31-41 the previous year to 46-36 this season. This improvement came despite dealing with significant injuries throughout the year.
