Last Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors won their 4th NBA championship in the past 8 seasons. During an interview, Steve Kerr made it a point to give credit to Bob Myers, the teams General Manager and President of Basketball Operations. It was certainly well deserved. He helped assemble the Bay Area dynasty after all. Kerr\u2019s comments and the topic of, \u201cgiving credit where credit is due\u201d, reminded us of one NBA dynasty we\u2019re all too familiar with. The Bulls of the 90\u2019s. And more specifically, one member of the organization during the decade. Mr. Jerry Krause. A man who never shied away from giving himself and the front office some props when the team won a championship. His self-pats on the back were replayed often in <\/span>The Last Dance docuseries<\/span><\/a>. To his credit though, Krause did a pretty solid job at assembling a team around Jordan for years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Myers, one way Krause assembled his dynasty squad was through the NBA draft. Some of the more impactful draft moves Krause made throughout his career were selecting Horace Grant in 1987, and trading for Scottie Pippen in the same draft year. Big moves like the ones Krause made can change the dynamic of a franchise for years after the fact. And with the 2022 NBA draft quickly approaching, we\u2019re hoping to see some big moves out of the Bulls this year. After making the playoffs last season, the Bulls received the 18th pick in this year\u2019s draft. Will they look to move up or down from that spot? Use it to trade for a new piece? Or simply stay put? We\u2019ll get to all of that as we explore some Chicago Bulls<\/a> draft rumors for the 2022 NBA draft!<\/span><\/p>\n
