With Michael Jordan ruling the courts, Chicago Bulls became the most feared team in the NBA towards the end of the 20th century. Seems like the Bulls made a deal with the devil for the success they achieved in the 90s, as they have been massively incompetent since then. The 1998 championship victory remains the last title won by the franchise.
But it seems like the organization is willing to splurge in order to bring back the glory days. To change their fortunes, the NBA side is set to take some drastic steps on the financial side, as they are not leaving any stone unturned.

It was reported that the Bulls are willing to go above and beyond in order to bring back NBA silverware to the city of Illinois. The Chicago-based outfit is set to load a bunch of talent in the off-season and this will only be the third time in NBA history Chicago is set to pay the luxury tax.
After re-signing Ayo Dosunmu, the Chicago Bulls are only ~$1.8M under the luxury tax. They could get to ~$3.7M under.
In their history, CHI has only paid the tax twice, for a total of just over $8M.
Hard to believe they'll go deep into the tax to add more guys this offseason.
