Now with the NBA season completely over, and the Dallas Mavericks stunning the Miami Heat and their fans, it’s a good time to take a look back and see how the Chicago Bulls fit in for next season.  Though some might want to make major changes to the roster after they were beat soundly by the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, there’s no getting around the fact that the Bulls make major strides in 2010-2011.  Despite some significant injuries, the Bulls put together one of the best defensive units in the league and were able to take a big stride after losing in the first round the previous season.  Moving forward, it doesn’t seem that the Bulls have all that much to fix.

The main reason, of course, is because of league MVP Derrick Rose.  Rose dominated the NBA for much of the season, though he struggled to hit jump shots in the Heat series as they packed it in and made him a volume shooter.  While Rose showed some limitations, he also has shown his ability to improve in the offseason, something he doubtless will attempt to do this offseason as well.  Outside of that, the Bulls really could use another offensive player to put pressure on the defense, which the Mavs found in Jason Terry and J.J. Barea.  Barea in particular got into the lane and wreaked havoc, softening up the Heat defense, a unit that the Bulls will doubtless see again.  Though the Bulls don’t need another superstar, obtaining a couple of offensive minded players this offseason could go a long way.
