The Chicago Bulls have reached the NBA playoffs in seven consecutive seasons. And in order to make it eight straight, a few things must materialize.
Led by Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and Pau Gasol, the team was considered a legitimate title contender this year. Unfortunately, it failed to deliver, falling to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games during the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Chicago was extremely active last offseason, adding the likes of Gasol, Nikola Mirotic, Aaron Brooks and Doug McDermott to the mix. But it should be much quieter in the Windy City this time around, as the team is expected to make only a few tweaks here and there.
