Bulls reveal unexpected plan after trading DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso

The Chicago Bulls made some big moves this offseason, trading DeMar DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings and Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite these moves, Chicago says they still want to win.

Bulls manager Arturas Karnišovas recently spoke to the press at the team's training facility, where he said the Bulls will still try to win.

“We will try to win every game,” said Arturas Karnišovas. “The only way to teach these guys how to win games is to get through this.”

The Bulls will enter this season led by veterans Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, but there are a lot of interesting things surrounding these guys. Josh Giddey, Jalen Smith, Chris Duarte and Matas Buzelis were all added to this team this offseason.

The biggest addition of all may be the return of 26-year-old Lonzo Ball, whenever he is able to return from his knee injury. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan says the team needs to be smart in its return.

“Lonzo loves to play,” Billy Donovan said. “And at his age – as much as he loves to play – he wants to play beyond this year.” So we also have a responsibility to make sure he is in a position to play after this season , where it’s not one of those things where it’s not handled properly or we don’t put him in a situation where he can be effective.”

Karnisovas and the Bulls may say they want to win games, but Chicago still has a top-10 protected first-round pick that it will send to the San Antonio Spurs if it falls out of the top 10. Considering what's at stake, it's hard to take Karnisovas at his word.

The Bulls will conclude their regular season on October 23 against the New Orleans Pelicans.
