Previous Seasons

2010 Season

The Vinny Del Negro era has ended in Chi-town and the Bulls hope to be in the running for the LeBron James sweepstakes.  Whether James will come to a team that has just fired their coach with no one who is markedly better in their sights is another question.  Also gone are three underachievers; John Salmons, Ben Gordon and Tyrus Thomas.  What the team does have left to attract a MAX player is guard Derrick Rose, forward Luol Deng and center Joakim Noah. 

2008/09 Season

After resigning Luol Deng and Ben Gordon, the Bulls looked ready to compete for a piece of the Eastern Conference Crown but the team never got off the ground. By mid-season, the Bulls pulled the trigger on what would be a succession of trades, first sending Andrews Nocioni, Drew Gooden, Cedric Simmons and Michael Ruffin to the Kings for Brad Miller and John Salmons. The next day, the Bulls then traded Larry Hughes to the Knicks for Tim Thomas, Jerome James and Anthony Roberson and finally on the same day, sent Thabo Sefolosha to the Thunder for a 2009 first round draft pick.

The team squeaked into the finals with a 41-41 record but was eliminated by the Boston Celtics.

2007/08 Season

After finishing the season with a 33-49 record, head coach Jim Boylan was fired from as the head coach of the Bulls. Boylan replaced Scott Skiles the day before Christmas. The team, which was touted to be a contender in the East, was described by GM John Paxson as “disappointing and disturbing.” The coaching search would lead to the hiring of former Spurs deep threat Vinny Del Negro.

2006/07 Season

Led by head coach Scott Skiles, the Bulls finished out the season with a strong 49-33 record, good for 3rd place in the Eastern Conference playoffs. In the first round, the Bulls swept the defending NBA Champion Miami Heat and faced the Detroit Pistons in the 2nd round which was a much harder task. The Bulls took the Pistons to 6-games but fell 95-85 on their home court to end the season.

Bulls History

The storied history of the Chicago Bulls is one of best in the sport of Professional Basketball. Owned by the Jim Beam Kovler family during the early years, the Bulls put out competitive teams but never managed to win a division title or make it to the finals. By the time the early 80’s rolled around, the Bulls were perpetual cellar dwellers.

With the flip of a coin in 1979, the Bulls lost the right for the 1st pick in the NBA Draft, which went to Los Angeles who used it to pick Magic Johnson. The Bulls would select David Greenwood with the 2nd pick that helped to form a fast moving offense centered on Reggie Theus, David Greenwood Artis Gilmore and Orlando Wooldridge. In a change of direction, the team traded Gilmore to the San Antonio Spurs for Dave Corzine and during the 1983/84 season, traded Reggie Theus to the Kansas City Kings. But the biggest impact on the team was yet to come.

The top three picks in the 1984 NBA Draft were Hakeem Olajuwon (drafted by Houston), Sam Bowie (drafted by the Blazers) and a young shooting guard by the name of Michael Jordan which Chicago selected with the third pick of the draft.

The impact of Michael Jordan was immediate as he won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, was selected to the All-NBA second team and set franchise records for scoring and steals. After breaking his foot in the 85/86 season, the Bulls were swept by Larry Byrd and his Boston Celtics. In one game, Jordan scored a playoff single-game record of 63 points prompting Byrd to call him “God disguised as Michael Jordan.”

In 1990, the Bulls recorded a franchise high 61 wins and in the playoffs they swept the defending champion Detroit Pistons in the conference finals and beat the LA Lakers (led by Magic Johnson) in five games. Jordan won the Regular Season MVP, the Finals MVP and his 5th straight scoring title. Between 1990 and 1993, the Bulls would three-peat winning the Larry O’Brian trophy three straight seasons.

Over the summer of 1993, Michael Jordan’s father was murdered and Michael retired from professional basketball months afterwards. His sidekick Scotty Pippen would lead the Bulls that year to a 55-win season but were eliminated by the NY Knicks in seven games in the 2nd round.

The following season, Jordan would return to basketball to play in Chicago’s new digs, the United Center and lead the team to a seed in the playoffs where they upset the Charlotte Hornets. The Bulls and Jordan in particular however would not be able to bully the Shaquille O’Neal led Orlando Magic who eliminated them from the playoff run.

Between 1995 and 1998, the Bulls would again three-peat, winning a league high 72 games in 1995. The team was a three headed monster led by Jordan, Pippen and Dennis Rodman. But by the end of the 1998 season, team owner Jerry Krause began trading away pieces of his old team while they still had some value and began building for the future without Michael Jordan. The Bulls allowed Head Coach Phil Jackson to leave and hired former Iowa State coach Tim Floyd to run the team. Jordan again retired and thus began a slow painful series of season for the Bulls.

The team would not return to the playoffs until the 2004 season where GM John Paxson traded his 2005 draft pick to the Phoenix Suns for an extra pick in the 2004 draft. Those picks were used to select Ben Gordon, Luol Deng and Chris Duhon. Paxson also signed free agent Andres Nocioni formerly of the Olympic Gold Medal winning Argentine National Team.
