Had an interesting back and forth with some of my friends at NBC Sports Chicago over the weekend regarding the Bulls’ future.
Basically it revolved around this question: Is the best player on the next contending Bulls' team already on the roster, or will he join the team in the future via trade, free agency or the draft?
The Bulls' front office hopes that player is already on the roster in either Lauri Markkanen or Zach LaVine. The 20-year-old Markkanen is leading all rookies in made 3-pointers, and is showing the kind of versatility on offense and toughness on defense that suggests future All-Star potential.
