Bulls need to steal their rebuild blueprint from most unlikely source.
The Chicago Bulls beat the Washington Wizards 127-108 on Nov. 26. It marked just the second time the Bulls held a team under 110 points this season and moved Chicago to 8-11 while dropping the Wizards to a league-worst 2-14.
Despite having no chance of competing for anything worthwhile, Chicago’s front office pairing of Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Artūras Karnišovas and General Manager Marc Eversley is still hoarding veterans like Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic.

That duo makes the Bulls just competitive enough to win games and avoid a top draft pick but not competitive enough to make any kind of postseason push.
The franchise is stuck in the worst kind of NBA limbo and needs a complete overhaul if it hopes to legitimately aim for championships again.
The Bulls just got an up close and personal look at the ideal blueprint to follow when (unfortunately, maybe if) they finally pull the trigger on a much-needed and long-awaited rebuild.
Bulls can steal the perfect overhaul strategy from an unlikely source
As of Nov. 29, the Wizards have won two of their 17 games in 2024-25. They’re the worst team in the NBA in multiple categories, and there’s no immediate path to being anything other than terrible.
