YES CHICAGO BULLS NEEDS TO CONSIDER A REBUILD | 5-13 START

The Chicago Bulls are stuck in a hole. It’s unavoidable. And executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas knows it. A 5-13 record. A four-game losing streak. A star player pushing for a trade. The first five weeks of the season have quickly tanked any hopes the rebuild centered on Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vučević would finally begin to click. This is not the season the Bulls were expecting. That has been clear from top to bottom. The front office returned the majority of the roster with the expectation the Bulls could build off the defensive rigor of last season and develop young players while relying on the consistency of their central trio. Instead, the bottom fell out on opening night. The Bulls are in the bottom 10 in the league in both offense and defense. They struggle to crack 100 points each night. And even their stars are performing well below career averages as the team remains mired in a baffling shooting slump. #chicagobulls #nba #nbabasketball
