The Chicago Bulls were one of the biggest disappointments of the 2022-23 NBA season, and now that their season is over, they have some decisions to make to improve the roster.
That’s why the six-time NBA champions have been urged to make a move for one of the most sought-after players in the league right now.
“If the Bulls want any chance to contend next season, they have to up their star power and fix their point guard position,” Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report wrote. “A megadeal for Damian Lillard would solve both problems.
“If any single trade gets Chicago into the championship race next season, it’d be putting every trade chip on the table and nabbing Lillard.”
Buckley points out that Lillard isn’t on the trade block, but after his recent words on Stephen A.’s World, it seems like everybody in the league is getting ready to make a run for Dame’s services.
The Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers have been named potential landing spots for Lillard, and now the Bulls could sign their name on this unofficial list.
Damian Lillard Clarifies Comments On Future With Portland Trail Blazers
Still, Lillard made it clear that he still trusts the Trail Blazers and will give them yet another opportunity to see what they can do next campaign. If they fail to build a really competitive team, it will be a problem for the player, who is growing tired of trying to win without any success.
The ball is on the team’s front office’s court, as they have big decisions to make. Lillard has made it clear he wants to win in Portland, but if they can give him the right team to aspire to win a championship, then he’ll be better off trying his luck on a different squad.
This will be a big story this offseason, and everybody will be paying attention to Dame’s decision.
