Of all <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/chicago\/bulls\/2021-nba-trade-deadline-grades-how-did-bulls-do-after-active-day\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">their trade deadline moves<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, their biggest was a blockbuster trade for All-Start Center, Nikola Vucevic. In the deal, the home team sent off Wendell Carter Jr., Otto Porter Jr. and a pair of first round draft picks for Vucevic and Al-Farouq Aminu. As it was their first move of the day, the message to the fans became clear. They want to win. In fact, even after the Vucevic trade, the team continued to stay in the hunt for Lonzo Ball, but no move was made. At the end of the day the front office secured a couple more pieces in Daniel Theis and Troy Brown Jr., while sending off Daniel Gafford and Chandler Hutchinson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So where does this put the Chicago Bulls who are in the hunt for an Eastern Conference playoff spot? Well for starters, it puts them in a much better position. The tandem of Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic has the makings to be a top duo in the East. Could they eclipse the super team that is the Brooklyn Nets? Maybe not in a playoff series, but that doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t beat \u2018em. And that\u2019s exactly what they did earlier this week to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/recap?gameId=401307546\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">put a halt to a six game losing streak<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It also happened to be Vucevic\u2019s first home game as a Bull, and we\u2019re hoping it\u2019s the start of many more to come. As it currently stands, the Chicago Bulls are three games out of the 8th seed and just picked up a win against the Indiana Pacers who are one game ahead of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CNSwdLWlKB1\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

After the season this team has had, they certainly put themselves in a spot to make a deal and sneak into the playoffs. But it\u2019ll be no easy task. With their current record, the Blackhawks are fifth in a tough Central conference. Recently, the team acquired former Hawk, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/blackhawks\/news\/blog-hinostroza-joins-blackhawks-monday-at-fifth-third-arena\/c-323293790\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vinnie Hinostroza from the Florida Panthers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When the team sent Vinnie off to Arizona in 2018, he went on to have some pretty solid seasons on the Coyotes before landing in Florida. And now, he looks to add some juice into a lineup that\u2019s been on a backslide since early March. The lack of recent success makes it hard to tell whether or not this organization will be buyers or sellers next Monday at the NHL trade deadline. But, the Hinostroza move seems to indicate the latter. We like to think they\u2019ll make a bit of a splash, and just like the season they\u2019re having, it\u2019ll be a surprising one at that.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last time we evaluated the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks together, we put them against each other to determine who was the more exciting team.
