Scouting the Central: Not certain if Bulls improved

The Detroit Pistons’ competition in the Central Division will be steep this season. In fact, a case can be made that it will be the deepest division in the NBA, with every team capable of a playoff run. Free Press sports writer Vince Ellis takes a look at one of the teams today.

Chicago Bulls

2014-15 record: 50-32, lost to Cleveland Cavaliers in Eastern Conference semifinals.

Key additions: Coach Fred Hoiberg, rookie PF Bobby Portis.

Key losses: None.

Cha-ching: Swingman Jimmy Butler, one of the best two-way players in the league, re-signed for the max — five years and $92 million.
