With the tumultuous arc recent franchise decisions have etched into history in mind, it’s par for the course in 2018 to treat whatever the Chicago Bulls happen to do at a given moment with a level of cynicism. So naturally, there are several lenses with which to view Jabari Parker’s arrival. The recent signing of the 23-year-old South Shore-bred scorer with the twice-repaired left knee has already sparked some taglines, many of which are rather obvious. Another Bulls reclamation project, expensive local marketing effort, death knell for Chicago’s defensive hopes, low-risk, high-reward proposition. Feel-good story.
