Chicago Bulls: Why cant they build a new winning team?

[Voight]

And what a time it was, 6 chips in 8 years with 2 three peats.

The Bulls were on fire like Steve Urkel

May have gone 8 in a row if Mike didn't get suspended for gambling.

Or could have had 7 in 8 if not for Hue Hollins

 

[Reality Check]

Truth of the matter is the Bulls have really never been a good franchise outside the Michael Jordan era. All of which was made possible by Portland passing on him by need due to having a future HOF SG already.

That is false

The Bulls were respectable franchise in late 60's and early 70's including back to back Conf Finals appearances

It was when Wirtz family bought them and cut budget that they fell into gutter before being saved by Jerry + MJ and having glory era

Bulls will be fine. They have a franchise type player in Markkanen.

The player that best exemplifies the Bulls is Zach Lavine. Overpaid, overrated, also looks to have promise and then chucks up shot after shot making about 25% of them.

To be accurate, drives to the basket against 2-3 guys, doesn't exploit the empty space that might create for his team mates and ends up missing the shot or losing possession.

I'm a Bulls fan, but Lauri isn't a franchise player. You are right about the bolded though.

I think the Bulls will be frisky this year. I could see them getting the 8 spot. Of course that's such a low bar in the East, but it would be a decent step forward for the team.
