芝加哥公牛最近傳出大改革的傳聞，兩位超級巨星Derrick Rose和Jimmy Butler均榜上有名。其中前者更與印第安納溜馬，達拉斯小牛和費城76人扯上關係。據芝加哥太陽時報報導，公牛的營運總監John Paxson和總經理Gar Forman將屬意在NBA選秀會中搜羅優質的控衛作為他的替代品。這不僅是基於Rose的合同時期的問題上，更大的原因是擔心他未能融入教練Fred Hoiberg的戰術體系。
年僅27歲的『飆風玫瑰』，不知不覺已逐漸凋零。經歷過傷患的洗禮，昔日的球隊皇牌，表現早已大不如前。雖然公牛的管理層仍未肯定會否把他作為交易籌碼，但要在下個賽季更進一步，大改革的進行看似事在必行。
另一方面，隊中另一主將Jimmy Butler亦傳聞有機會離隊，此子更吸引不少球隊如洛杉磯湖人和波士頓塞爾特人等爭相羅致門下，甚至願意奉上今屆選秀會的第一輪選秀權。但相比起前者，公牛更願意留下他作為球隊的核心。但根據CSNNE.com報導，假若有球隊可提供頭三位的選秀權加上幾名具備質素的球員的話，公牛亦願意聆聽對Butler的報價。
引用“A league source tells CSNNE.com that the Bulls, while still open to listening to offers for Butler, are telling teams that are inquiring about his availability that their plan, for now, is to keep him in the fold.”
“And while there was some thought that a top-3 pick coupled with a few decent players might be enough to entice the Bulls to pull the trigger on a deal to trade Butler, CSNNE.com has been told such an offer would have to include at least one “legitimate, NBA starter” for the Bulls to even possibly consider trading him.”
話雖如此，假若一切交易都未能成事，公牛仍可視Rose和Butler為核心重組球隊。傳聞教練Fred Hoiberg將改造Rose成為得分後衛，以及將Butler放到小前鋒的位置。這意味著球隊今夏仍然要在轉會市場或選秀會中找尋一名具質素的控球後衛。
