Should the Chicago Bulls regret not trading away Andre Drummond at the NBA’s 2024 trade deadline? By now, it is clear that most of the team’s fans are thinking they should have, especially in light of recent injury news further dampening any possibility of a postseason for Chicago.
And if you ask Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley, the Bulls should indeed feel regret for having passed on the draft assets Big Penguin could have garnered for Chicago. “The Chicago Bulls’ decision to stand pat for a third consecutive season arguably came as close to being shocking as anything else,” writes the B/R analyst. “Chicago has always seemed far less interested in overhauling this roster than everyone else thinks it should be.”
“As the Bulls stumble through whatever remains of their season—probably a play-in tournament appearance, almost certainly not any postseason success—they’ll come to regret their latest dormant deadline for a number of reasons,” he adds.

With word that the front office turned down three second round picks for Drummond’s services out there, it will be especially rough for Chicago’s execs if the UConn alum ends up leaving for nothing in free agency this summer.
