What we are learning about the Bulls’ five trade-deadline acquisitions


Bulls coach Billy Donovan didn’t need long to identify his team’s biggest issue 10 games into the blockbuster trade that brought Nikola Vučević.

“It’s consistency,” he said following Monday’s 101-90 loss at Memphis.

When the season was young, the same problem could be taken as an area of development. Time was on the Bulls’ side. With 19 games remaining, it’s looking more like a death sentence.

The Bulls are 3-7 since making a pair of deadline-day trades that sent out five players and brought back five new faces. Vučević, the grand prize, has met or exceeded expectations, but the Bulls acquired him to help secure wins and a sizable jump in the Eastern Conference standings. Nearly three weeks later, Chicago remains in 10th place, no change from its positioning at the deadline.
