Chicago Bulls star blasts front office amid NBA trade news
The Chicago Bulls locker room is going to have a long week ahead of them after losing two of their last three games–all against the Miami Heat since Thursday night.

Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reported on Sunday night that the locker room is growing frustrated with the front office, even after the team traded for two second-round picks and Dario Saric from the Sacramento Kings.
With Sunday night’s 134-91 loss the Heat, the Bulls fell to 24-26 on the season. They’re in control of the Eastern Conference’s No. 9 seed before the trade deadline on Thursday. In the meantime, Chicago will play the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.
Per Cowley, Bulls center Nikola Vucevic wasn’t afraid to criticize the front office following Sunday night’s rather lopsided loss. He thinks the roster needs to make moved to “take the next step” and get out of sputtering in April during the Play-In Tournament.
“You know it’s not fun when you’re in the same position year after year, and especially when you can’t get out of that play-in, you get stuck behind Miami every time, so we’ll see how it goes,” Vucevic said.
“But yeah, I think this team does need some things that can definitely help us to go forward, take that next step, and we’ll see what happens.”
The Chicago Bulls need physicality

Vucevic suggested the front office and executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas hadn’t done enough to give Chicago size.
“Mainly we need some size and athleticism,” Vucevic said. “We’re pretty undersized at most positions. I think that’s it, that would be the main thing. Because the way the league is right now and a lot of teams have these big wings, I think that’s something that can definitely help us if we add some of that.
“Just the way the game has changed, the way the game has evolved, most teams their two, three and four are 6-8, 6-9, and we don’t really have that.”
Ouch.
Vucevic isn’t wrong. And it’s hurting the Bulls against the better teams in the association.
Chicago isn’t going to the playoffs as is. With seven players on the roster headed for free agency, it’s time for Karnisovas to trade core members of the team away or bring a big-time star to the Bulls.
Early in the season, the Bulls looked hot, but couldn’t close out against teams with star power. That trend will continue until a superstar comes to Chicago, be it through the draft, free agency, or trade.
