Picked as worst in the NBA, Bulls are where they want to be
With incredible talent poised to enter the league in the 2018 NBA draft, the Bulls would be best served to lose as often as possible this season, and it looks like they're set up to do just that.
ESPN Stats and Information
February 9 on ESPN, Jimmy Butler makes his highly anticipated return to Chicago. On draft night, the Timberwolves acquired Butler from the Bulls, who is looking to get Minnesota back to the postseason for the first time since 2003-04. Their 13 straight seasons of missing the playoffs is the longest active drought in the league.
Bulls' complete 2017-18 regular-season schedule
They'll open at Toronto on Thursday, Oct. 19 and host the Spurs two nights later. Jimmy Butler's return to the United Center with the Wolves will be Friday, Feb. 9.

One of the most jarring parts of the Bulls' 2017-18 schedule is that they are only scheduled to appear on national television once. Their Feb. 9th home game against Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson and the Minnesota Timberwolves will be televised by ESPN. For a team like the Bulls that has lived on national television for most of the last decade, the reality that there isn't much interest in a rebuilding team hit home again on Monday with the schedule release.
Team Turmoil for 2017-18 season: Bulls
