Column: The Chicago Bulls may not be title contenders, but their camaraderie makes them an easy team to love

Artūras Karnišovas bet on the players who led the Chicago Bulls to their first playoff appearance in five years. He added Andre Drummond and Goran Dragić to the team's roster. The Bulls had the best record in the Eastern Conference for the first 20 games of the season. They lost 15 of their last 22 games and lost in their opening-round playoff loss to Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bulls are hoping for a better season than last year. They have high expectations. DeRozan and Zach LaVine are good team mates. De Rozans works hard and is motivated. He believes he will get the last laugh. Williams worked out in Los Angeles with Derzan over the summer. The two men are very different in their attitude. La Vine and De Rozan are not satisfied with their critics. Bulls fans should be excited about the 2022-23 season. It will be their first season in Chicago. Their coach is Billy Donovan. His team is not sure if they can win the conference title or a championship.

Karim Karnišovas is betting on the Chicago Bulls' character to be a better team this season. Karim played only 41 games last season because of injuries and Grayson Allen's cheap shot broke his wrist. Caruso doesn't want to change his style of play.
