Experts and fans alike haven't had much to say about the Chicago Bulls' chances for next season. Nobody has mentioned anything remotely close to the Bulls vying for an NBA title, and the same can be said for their chances in the inaugural edition of the NBA's In-Season Tournament, where the Bulls have been slotted in Group C. That said, here are five stories from last week involving the Bulls that you may have missed.

1. Report projects Chicago Bulls to falter in the group stage of In-Season Tournament

According to Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report, the Bulls are unlikely to advance to the next round as they haven't made significant progress in challenging the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Their offseason moves haven't had a noticeable impact on the conference's hierarchy.

2. Should the Chicago Bulls seriously consider trading for James Harden?

It appears that the relationship between James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers is already beyond repair. With Harden recently launching a tirade against the team's executive, Daryl Morey, some Bulls fans are now wondering if their team should pursue the former MVP.

3. The Chicago Bulls are predicted to win 37 games next season

Fans will see more of the same faces from last season's squad, which means they should temper their expectations. Experts are aware of what this means for their next season and pegged the team to win just 37 out of the 82 games.

4. Intriguing matchups in the Eastern Conference for the Chicago Bulls

The new season will bring plenty of must-watch games. Here are a couple of intriguing matchups that every Bulls fan must tune in to witness.

5. Dwyane Wade shares the reason why he wore number 3 on his jersey

The Miami Heat icon and former Chicago Bulls player finally took his rightful place in the Hall of Fame. The Chicago native also took the time to share the reason why he wore jersey no. 3.
