It was a weird night to be a Chicago Bulls fan, and I’m not even talking about the up-and-down play of our 24-27 team on the United Center floor against the visiting Portland Trail Blazers.
Chicago, as you may have heard 20 million times or so since the 2021 offseason, will get Portland’s first-round draft pick this year if the now-26-27 Trail Blazers make the playoffs in the West. Our own pick, of course, will convey the Orlando Magic, thanks to our incredibly optimistic trade for Nikola Vucevic that also netted them the rights to future All-Star small forward Franz Wagner.
