The Chicago Bulls are currently in the middle of a difficult stretch, having dropped 12 of their last 13 games, and the team appears further from contention than it has in several seasons.
Despite the struggles, guard Josh Giddey remains optimistic that the organization can turn things around relatively quickly if the front office successfully reshapes the roster.
Speaking about the rebuilding process, Giddey pointed to his previous experience in Oklahoma City as an example of how rapidly a team’s fortunes can change under the right circumstances.
“When I was in Oklahoma, we went from the worst team in the league to the best team in the league in 24 months,” the player said.
“We did it pretty quickly. A lot of rebuilds don’t necessarily happen that fast. Obviously, with the people and personnel we had it got sped up pretty quickly. Over those three years, we built a lot of really good habits, winning habits.”
Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times noted that expecting the Bulls to follow the exact same path as the Thunder would be unrealistic.
However, he also suggested that Chicago doesn’t necessarily have to remain stuck near the bottom of the standings for several years if the organization makes the right moves during its rebuilding process.
