1 NBA insider says that Rudy Gobert to Chicago Bulls is an expecation

The Chicago Bulls had a really nice season in 2021-22. They were one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference for most of the season. That was until they fell off at the end mostly due to multiple injuries to some of their best players.

With a couple of more additions during the offseason along with some better health, they could be a championship-level team in short order. One player that would be a fit with the team right now is Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz. 

Matt Moore of The Action Network said on a podcast that this is becoming more of a league-wide expectation. That is much more convincing than calling it a rumor right now. This would be huge news for the Bulls as they look to take that next step.

Hearing that it is a legit possibility is certainly exciting to hear for this Bulls team that needs to keep building. The roster was in shambles just a few seasons ago but it has been built back up to what it is today. Gobert would make it that much better.

The Chicago Bulls would look so nice with Rudy Gobert on their roster.

We don’t know what a trade would look like but Gobert is probably joining a core of players that had tremendous success in their first year together.

Guys like Zach LaVine (if he stays), DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, Nikola Vucevic, Patrick Williams, and Alex Caruso (if none of them are traded) would look really nice with a guy like Rudy Gobert around them. It would be interesting to see how long it takes them all to win as a cohesive unit.

The Bulls would look a lot different just by adding this one player. He is the type of guy that helps them on both sides of the basketball. Others around him, as mentioned before, would be made better just by adding this particular player. They wouldn’t automatically become a championship team but they would be that much closer.

We can only hope that this “expectation’ becomes a reality. There is a lot of work to do for this team but they are on the right path. The NBA would be better with the Chicago Bulls making deep playoff runs and this is just the beginning.
