Julia Poe of The Chicago Tribune raises five pressing questions for the Bulls ahead of training camp, which begins on October 1.

One of the key questions she explores is what it would take to move Zach LaVine, who has been the subject of trade speculation for some time.

Poe also questions whether head of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas is on the hot seat following the team’s failure to make the playoffs in the past two seasons.

Compounding the pressure is the loss of star forward DeMar DeRozan in a sign-and-trade deal that yielded a minimal return, raising concerns about the team’s future direction and leadership under Karnisovas.

With training camp looming, these unresolved issues add significant intrigue to the Bulls’ upcoming season.
