On or before the February trade deadline, the Chicago Bulls may be an entirely different team.
In any case, Fred Hoiberg needs to take charge for real and use his best players for the roles they were drafted for. No babysitting anyone just so they can look good even if the entire pace-and-space Hoiball shoot and attack system is compromised for a slower offense that runs out of gas in the fourth. That means setting Nikola Mirotic and Doug McDermott as the lead scorers with Dwyane Wade playing off them. With Okafor onboard, the ball dumped into the paint is a sure score.
