There might be no team in the league who needs a rebuild more than the Bulls, and yet there is no owner who is more resistant to that than Jerry Reinsdorf.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>You see, Jerry Reinsdorf might be the most hated man in Chicago, and that\u2019s saying something. He, for many years, has owned both the Bulls and the Chicago White Sox, although it appears he\u2019s selling at least part of the White Sox. The Bulls haven\u2019t been serious contenders since the Derrick Rose days, and the White Sox were last seen setting the record for most losses in a season in 2024. This is a guy who has run two professional teams with championship history into the absolute ground. With that in mind, let\u2019s preview the Bulls, shall we?<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>Chicago Bulls: Over\/Under 33.5 wins (+104\/-128)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Additions: Noa Essengue (12<sup>th<\/sup> pick), Isaac Okoro<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Losses: Lonzo Ball (Cleveland)<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p>Chicago desperately needs a reload. They\u2019ve got some interesting young players who they can build around. But what purpose is Nikola Vucevic serving on this roster? It\u2019s just stunning to me that they continue to trot out a group that is destined for 35-40 wins. With that being said, if they do decide to sell off a guy like Vuc, or even a young player like Coby White, it sets up an opportunity for Matas Buzelis, Essengue and others. The sky could be brighter for Bulls fans once that sell off happens, but until then it\u2019s business as usual at the United Center.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>Prediction: Over 33.5 wins<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h5>Odds provided by the Fanduel Sportsbook and are subject to change.
