Did the Bulls Improve in the Off Season?

July 19, 2007

Did the Chicago Bulls improve in the off season this year? Well, that question might be a bit premature (considering that the off season is not even close to being over), but a guy at ESPN seems to think that the Bulls were one of the 15 teams in the league that made strides to improve immediately. The article is basically asking if the teams got better for the very next season, and not better in the long haul, thus the placement of both Portland and Seattle in the bottom half of the NBA.

According to John Hollinger, the Bulls have addressed their one issue: power forward/big man depth. Albeit they probably could have done better by getting a player who could score in the paint, the Bulls did improve by landing Tyrus Thomas, Joakim Noah and Joe Smith. Hollinger even suggests that this is starting to look like a nice package to combine for a shot at Kevin Garnett in a trade.

So it looks like it is official… at least at ESPN. Chicago Bulls tickets will get a chance to see an improved team. Make sure to go to StubHub.com for those tickets.
