The Chicago Bulls went from a magical 5-0 start (their best start since the historical 1996-97 season) at the beginning of November to a 9-11 record to start December. The team's flaws have been glaringly evident since their unbeaten run ended, especially on the defensive end.
Isaac Okoro remains the only capable stopper on the roster, and the discussion about a potential trade has gained more traction in recent days. Amid a four-game losing skid, which includes losses to the New Orleans Pelicans (3-19), Charlotte Hornets (6-15), and the Indiana Pacers (4-17), it's become obvious that Chicago needs to bring in external help.
