The Bulls can now challenge the Cavs

The Cavaliers have a stranglehold on the current iteration of the Eastern Conference. The closest team to them is Toronto. Miami and Atlanta look to be contenders, but with the Bull’s acquisitions of Wade and Rondo, they’re now the top challenger to the reign of LeBron in the East.

Wade has played with and against LeBron before. He knows his tactics, he knows his ways. With the young talent that Jimmy Butler brings and the passing ability of Rajon Rondo, the Bulls are a very serious threat to unseat the dominant Cavaliers. Losing Derrick Rose and adding Dwyane Wade doesn’t make the Bulls worse, it makes them better. They’re trading a very injury prone player for one who has a semblance of consistency, one with championship level experience that will pay off in future playoffs match-ups with teams the Bulls will have to beat to advance, like the Cavs.
