The Chicago Bulls put together a strong NBA regular season but were eliminated from playoff contention in a disappointing fashion. It was an earlier exit than they were hoping for after they were looking like contenders in the Eastern Conference during the regular season.
One way to take the next step could be pursuing a massive blockbuster trade to acquire Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers.
Chicago was given a tough hand as they had to face the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs. However, that is no excuse moving forward. The front office has been extremely aggressive in recent months and could continue this offseason if they see an opportunity.
The Trail Blazers will have eyes on them at all angles. Damian Lillard has not requested a trade out of town, but there is a case to be made that undergoing a rebuild is the best course of action.
