The Chicago Bulls roster looks a little wonky after the trade deadline.
More News: Bulls HC Billy Donovan pessimistic on team outlook
The Bulls are guard-heavy.
Chicago traded away Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White, and Nikola Vucevic to rebuild a new core that will revolve around Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis.
The Bulls have eight guards on their roster, and size is a significant issue for a team coming out of the All-Star break with a 24-31 record, one spot out of the Play-In Tournament as the No. 11 team in the Eastern Conference.
Chicago head coach Billy Donovan knows he has a guard problem.
Per Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Donovan said he’s going to have a hard time figuring out a way to give players minutes because of all the guards he has on the roster.
“I think guys are going to have to earn minutes,” Donovan said.
“Because of all the guards we have we’re not going to be able to play all of them because we’ll have size issues too, so you may get playing Jalen (Smith) and Nick Richards together, and if you have Matas (Buzelis) out there or Patrick (Williams) out there, there’s only two guard spots, so you’re going to have four guards sitting on the bench. That could happen.”
The Chicago Bulls are in full tank mode

Yikes.
The Bulls didn’t exactly light it up after the trade deadline. Chicago is on a six-game losing streak. All of those losses came by double digits.
Chicago will next host the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night.
The Bulls are set to tank for the rest of the season, which should help the team’s chances of earning a lottery pick.
But the rest of the season could be unwatchable for fans.
It’s unplayable for Donovan.
