The older brother of Derrick Rose didn't just take a few jabs at the Bulls organization back in February when he spoke to ESPN Chicago, he threw haymakers.

What to do with Luol Deng will be one of the tough decisions the Bulls must make this offseason.

Most casual Bulls fans only see one side of Kirk Hinrich , the injured and offensive struggling one.

Note: The Chicago Bulls defied everyone's expectations as they finished with the season with a 45-37 record and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals where they were eliminated by the Miami Heat in five games.

The Bulls should have their pick of several quality players with the No. 20 selection in the 2013 NBA Draft.

There was no 'all clear' on anybody, but: Deng and Noah are traveling and 'doing better', while Hinrich's working out at the Berto Center .

It was another injury-riddled season for the Bulls and while they would much rather be competing for the franchise's seventh title, the extended break does give the players some time to recuperate and recover from several of injuries faced throughout the season.

After the Indiana Pacers pushed the Miami Heat to seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals, it became popular to suggest they were the biggest threat to the Heat going forward.

Derrick Rose 's return next season will certainly create buzz across the NBA spectrum, and a healthy portion of that buzz will be directed toward this question: Does Rose's return instantly make the Chicago Bulls title contenders? There are layers to this discussion and a bevy of different opinions.

I know the NBA finals are upcoming. I know the Sixers still haven't hired a coach.

As the NBA Finals are set to begin, all but two teams are free to concentrate on their draft strategies.

As the Chicago Bulls consider their offseason options, one thing that has to be considered is trading their most attractive asset, Luol Deng.
