When the Chicago Bulls started their season 5-0, the idea of acquiring a veteran or two to assist with a potential playoff push wasn't completely absurd. Now that they're 9-13 and riding a six-game losing streak, their top trade deadline priority is wildly obvious (again): Trade Nikola Vucevic.
The organization finds itself in a hilariously familiar scenario. It's like having a recurring dream about Groundhog Day; every night, you're re-living the same day.
The Bulls are a mediocre team. They have some promising young players -- this year, that's Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis (sort of) -- but also plenty of reasons and assets to tank and officially kickstart a full-scale rebuild.
