One NBA team that seems ready to throw in the towel for this year is the Chicago Bulls.
We are only 11 games into their season and they seem prepared to start selling off some of their players.
Chicago has a record of 4-7 and does not think they will be able to compete.
That is part of the reason why they are looking to trade a few of their stars.
One team that may be interested in improving their roster is the Philadelphia 76ers.
They have some assets to move and could be looking for a third star next to Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
But, it appears that the 76ers are not interested in anyone from the Bulls.
According to John Clark via NBACentral: “The Sixers like the depth they have… and the Bulls high salary players may not be a fit.”
“I’m told the Sixers like the depth they have now are and the Bulls high salary players may not be a fit.”

The two names that most teams would be interested in are Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan.
Both are former All-Stars and are perennial 20+ point-per-game scorers.
There are plenty of teams around the NBA that need some offensive help and should be interested.
If the 76ers are hoping to keep their salary down it makes sense for them to look elsewhere.
One team that should at least look into acquiring LaVine is the Golden State Warriors.
They need a second option next to Stephen Curry.
Curry is the only Warriors player to score over 20 points in a game this season.
That is not a sustainable way to play offense.
Golden State knows their window to win is now and they must take advantage of the trade market.
We may not know where these Bulls players will end up, but it would be a surprise if they stay in Chicago.
