The Chicago Bulls have been one of the more disappointing teams in the league thus far. At 3-6, they have one of the worst point differentials in the NBA, and their three-star core of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic has been particularly rough to watch. DeRozan is a -77 on the season, Vucevic is a -53, and LaVine is a -49.
As the season rolls on, questions will inevitably be asked regarding whether or not the Bulls should keep their current team together or blow it up. Fans were begging the team to rebuild this summer, but they decided to roll with the guys they had. Now, it looks like a mistake.
According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, NBA scouts around the league are attending Bulls games more frequently in anticipation of a trade frenzy at the deadline.
“In talking to some people around the league, the scouts are jamming themselves into Bulls games because they realize that at some point, the Bulls may break this team up,” Windhorst said on ESPN’s NBA Today. “And they’re all gathering intelligence like, ‘What’s gonna happen with the Bulls?'”

If the Bulls continue on the path they’re currently on, a rebuild could be in the cards by the time the trade deadline rolls around.
