The Bulls have a ton of critical decisions to make once this season comes to a merciful end. It’s clear that the roster that was once heralded as a championship contender needs a serious overhaul.
The problem is that the only way to make big changes to the roster is by making a trade, and that’s something that this management team historically doesn’t do.
The players with guaranteed contracts on the Bulls next year are Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson, Nikola Mirotic, Mike Dunleavy, Doug McDermott, Tony Snell, Bobby Portis, and Justin Holiday. That’s already nine players.
