It was a great game, but watching Utah’s young core outplay what the Bulls put on the floor left me jealous. I want my team to have something that feels like a real future, too. With the NBA trade deadline approaching fast, the Bulls have a chance to trade for that kind of young core. Personally, though, I’d rather they get it ...

They must also leverage redundancies on their roster by trading away older and higher-paid players […]
