Additional offensive help is not on the way for the Chicago Bulls. Already bogged down by subpar play at the point guard position (sup, Derrick Rose) and in the frontcourt (sup, Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah), the Bulls definitely need an offensive boost.

Someone, anyone, must explain the Chicago Bulls’ sudden infatuation with Kevin Love.

The Bulls are among the many teams—Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, etc.—chasing Pau Gasol, and according to the Chicago Sun-Times‘ Joe Cowley, they’re optimistic [...]
Tanking isn’t in Derrick Rose’s vocabulary. Hell, rebuilding isn’t either. But it may have to be.
