The Chicago Bulls did not make a move ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline, the third consecutive year the team has stood pat at the deadline.
Bulls Vice President Arturas Karnisovas reiterated several times during a video call with reporters shortly after the deadline that he was happy with the way the team was playing recently and his intentions were for the team to "remain competitive" despite the team entering Thursday sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 24-27.
"We would take a step back, which we don't want," Karnisovas said.
