The Chicago Bulls enter NBA trade season having at least recognized that not even an Anthony Davis deal could change their fate. They not only remain without a franchise face, they have no obvious—or even imaginative—means of acquiring one.
This organization, which has essentially manufactured mediocrity assembly-line style ever since swearing it wouldn't stand for exactly that, needs a top-to-bottom overhaul. This trade season is the time to make it happen, particularly since its 4-14 plunge after its 6-1 start should have shattered even the most optimistic dreams of fielding a competitive club any time soon.
