The Chicago Bulls are sitting just outside the eastern conference playoff picture after they made win now moves at the NBA trade deadline. Included in what they traded away at the deadline is their first-round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft (Protected 1-4).
That, combined with the caliber players they added to the roster, specifically in Nikola Vucevic, makes the playoffs this season not only a goal but an expectation. There is work to be done in order to meet that expectation and the Bulls need to get to work quickly so they could make the most of their remaining games.
