In the game that is the NBA, the Bulls are a non-playable character.
Last night on trade deadline eve, the latest superstar trade occurred while the Bulls were sleeping, with Kevin Durant heading to the Phoenix Suns.
Now is the reaction to the front office something along the lines of “dang, we need to get in position to land a superstar”, or “wow, maybe we can leap the Nets for 8th place!”
It isn’t technically true that the Bulls will do nothing today. But based off of the past three transaction cycles, and the lack of communication, it’s all but assumed.
