The Chicago Bulls are starting to turn things around despite the fact that the odds are stack against them this season. From injuries to star players to the trading away of a star player, Chicago hasn’t had an easy go of things but they’re starting to show results.

Currently, the Bulls are 27-25 at the All-Star Break and in the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. This might not stop them from making a trade at the deadline though, as Alex Kennedy from Basketball Insiders notes Mike Dunleavy is among the names to keep an eye on at the deadline.

"Aside from the big name guys, I think some guys to keep an eye on are Andre Miller, Spencer Hawes, Beno Udrih, Emeka Okafor (because of his insured, expiring contract), Ben Gordon, Mike Dunleavy, Richard Jefferson and Brandon Rush."

The Bulls apparently aren’t interested in making a move at the deadline, but we can’t count it out. Dunleavy was mentioned in trade rumors earlier this season and if the Bulls can cut salary, they almost certainly will take the opportunity to do so.
