CHICAGO BULLS OFF-SEASON REPORT: Post-NBA Finals Edition & Rebuilding Around Andrew Wiggins

After watching the most absurdly ridiculous NBA Finals of all 6 of Lebron James' NBA Finals appearances, it is clearer than ever that the Chicago Bulls, to be really considered an NBA Championship team, must either score Kevin Durant in free agency or they must acquire Andrew Wiggins in a trade.

Andrew Wiggins must be a top target for the Chicago Bulls as the foundation of a needed rebuild.

If it wasn't clear before that this is a superstar's league, just ask yourselves why there was even a Game 7 last night when the NBA's suspension of Draymond Green for Game 5 and then the biased officiating on Game 6 made this year's NBA Finals essentially a single elimination Championship game with all the momentum, as well as injury lists, in Cleveland's favor.

So after being the only 73-9 team in "NBA History", the Golden State Warriors earned little more respect for their sound defense and team play from the league than the 2011 Chicago Bulls that EARNED the best record in the NBA, but were overruled by the epically poor officiating in the Eastern Conference Finals against Lebron James' Miami Heat.

If the league is about superstars, it is even more about marketable superstars.

The Chicago Bulls, as one of the major market teams in the NBA, has an advantage over Oklahoma City's and the Minnesota's of the league because their superstar will have the spotlight on him.

And if the spotlight loves him and he loves the spotlight, then the Chicago Bulls will be in the Championship conversation again.

Aside from landing Derrick Rose in a NBA Draft Lottery freak of luck and then scoring Jimmy Butler in a freak of NBA scouting virtuosity at number 30, the Chicago Bulls have had no reason to find themselves in the NBA Championship conversation.

Jimmy Butler has been a guy earning his place at the table, and so far, he is constantly called a second tier superstar, despite having some of the most unforgettable games head-to-head against Lebron, when the officiating was at all fair.

But often it isn't.

Then there was Derrick Rose. He was the hometown hero that could have taken the Chicago Bulls back to the promised land.

But in addition to the injuries, Rose did not like the spotlight. And when it was necessary, he did not do what was best for his team and what was needed to win. (I am not referring to coming back too soon from injury. I am talking about recruiting players in free agency, namely Carmelo Anthony.)

So this is the crossroads that the Chicago Bulls are at as fans watch Lebron hoist another NBA Championship.

We are not built to compete with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And we are no longer one player away from being on Cleveland's level in the Eastern Conference.

The Chicago Bulls can truncate the rebuild by maximizing their return on their most valuable parts the way that the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Cubs have done, not by letting their valuable assets walk away in free agency.

And the Chicago Bulls must do whatever it takes to rebuild around a generational talent like Andrew Wiggins when there is a win-win deal with Minnesota available.

Can the Chicago Bulls get away with adding a player or two and be competitive with Cleveland? Or do the Chicago Bulls need to go into a rebuild mindset? Let us know what you think!
