Report: Chicago Bulls Brass Losing Faith In Star Player This Offseason

The Chicago Bulls were heading into the offseason hoping to keep their core intact for a run next season, but a recent report casts doubt on the team’s plans this offseason. The Bulls were one win in the play-in game against the Miami Heat from making the playoffs.

That was a major disappointment after the Bulls invested in star player Zach LaVine last offseason with his max contract. The Bulls’ main core of LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vučević didn’t perform to their expectations in 2022-23. Many fans would like to see the Bulls blow it up and start over. However, the brass recently said they’d like to keep the roster mostly intact. 

There has been speculation the Bulls could try to trade or sign a top free agent this offseason to make the team more competitive until Lonzo Ball is back from his injury. A new report casts into doubt the possibility the Bulls will wait for Ball. 

The Chicago Bulls don’t think their star will play again

According to Dan Berstein, who spoke on the Organizations Win Championships podcast, the Bulls brass has said privately they don’t believe Ball will play for the Bulls or in the NBA again.

Lonzo Ball might not play with the Chicago Bulls again.

That would be a huge blow for the Bulls. Ball was the key to the team having the best record in the NBA before he succumbed to injury. Three surgeries later, it looks like Ball might never recover. There is now a huge hole in the Bulls’ lineup as they need a strong point guard to play defense and give the team assists to their strong offensive core.

Bulls fans react to the news

Bulls fans reacted to the report not long after the podcast came out. Here are the best takes of the Bulls thinking their star will never return.

This bums me out. Hoping he comes back and at least has a Shaun Livingston type of recovery and career. Different injuries, but still https://t.co/NDQUiOr4fV
