The Eastern Conference has seen a surge in talent following the major offseason moves. Despite not being in the conversation, Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey believes the Bulls can still make a splash. The Bulls made significant changes before the February trade deadline, trading Coby White to the Charlotte Hornets and Ayo Dosunmu to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
After a playoff-less season, the team moved swiftly in the summer, hiring former Portland Trail Blazers head coach Tiago Splitter and re-signing veteran Norman Powell. While other teams like the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat have made blockbuster signings, Giddey remains optimistic about the Bulls' chances. "It's obviously a pretty loaded conference," Giddey stated in an interview with Clutch Points' DJ Siddiqi.
"But I think we've got a good mix: veterans, young guys, guys that have been there before and experienced playoff basketball, guys that are hungry to get there. I'm comfortable with what we have in the locker room." The Bulls' hot start last season, where they went 5-0, belies their eventual struggles. Giddey attributes their inconsistency to the need for consistency and a deep roster capable of providing multiple offensive looks.
