Chicago Bulls: 2016 Offseason Grades

The Chicago Bulls have been fairly active since the free agency period began. Here is a look at the grades for each move they have made during the offseason.

The Chicago Bulls finished with a 42-40 record in 2015-16, failed to make the playoffs for the first time in eight years and were a shell of their former selves from a defensive standpoint. Needless to say, the sting of not qualifying for the postseason was not only felt by the players, but the front office as well.

"“This roster for whatever reason — we brought back, we thought they had one more shot to make a real positive run in the Eastern Conference,” executive vice president John Paxson said via ESPN Chicago’s Nick Friedell.  “It obviously didn’t play out that way. And that’s where our biggest disappointment comes from. “I do think that anybody who watched us play this year saw a team that didn’t have the collective fight or toughness that’s needed to battle through adversity. And to me, that’s the biggest disappointment in all of this. And again, that falls on all of us.”"

On the heels of a disappointing season, it was all but expected that changes would be made to the roster, and the Bulls have certainly lived up to expectations in that regard. So without further ado, here is a look at what they’ve done this offseason, along with grades for each of those moves.
