The Chicago Bulls officially started giving up on their season on Sunday night when they sent Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings as part of a three-way trade. The Bulls lost their best offensive piece and a cornerstone of the team since 2017.
The Bulls appear ready to dismantle more of the roster before Thursday’s trade deadline. The team needs to continue to shed pieces of their former core as they move on.
Chicago’s strategy to rebuild made some wonder what the future status of head coach Billy Donovan will be. Donovan left his job with the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2020 to join the Bulls.
Reports surfaced that Donovan left OKC because he didn’t want to be a part of their rebuild. (The Thunder currently have the Western Conference’s best record.)
Bill Donovan explains his thoughts on a rebuild
Created:
Per Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune, Donovan said he’s not afraid of the Bulls’ plans to rebuild. He dismissed the idea that he “had no interest” in being part of a rebuilding team.
Via Poe:
“Billy Donovan says he is not deterred by coaching a rebuild in Chicago: “There was maybe a lot of things said or put out there publicly that I had no interest in a rebuild — that’s not true. I never said that. Never felt like that. … I want to be part of building something.”

The Chicago Bulls will have a decision to make on Donovan
Donovan looked like he was the right hire for the Bulls up until Lonzo Ball’s injury. Frankly, that’s when Chicago’s championship dreams fell apart.
Donovan is 177-191 during his five seasons with Chicago. He hasn’t had a winning campaign since 2021-22. It remains to be seen if the Bulls trust Donovan as the architect for the next team.
Patience on both sides will be required.
