Most fans hailed the move by the Chicago Bulls‘ new front office to land star center Nikola Vucevic from the Orlando Magic at the trade deadline. It symbolized a change in the way this organization builds out the roster, with a more aggressive stance to try and put the team in a position to contend in the near term, instead of making conversation cash-conservative moves each passing year.
The former front office regime of John Paxson and Gar Forman was one that was one of the more conservative throughout the franchise history for the Bulls near the end of their term.
