Team strengths:The Chicago Bulls have one of the strongest 1-2 punches in the league with Jamal Mashburn and Elton Brand. The Bulls biggest strength however is their balance. The balance between the starters and the bench, the balance between the front and back court, the balance of age between young and old, the balance between salaries both low and high. Team weaknesses:Last season a key weakness was overall team defense but this concern has been addressed with key acquisitions such as Eric Snow, Jamal Mashburn, Tony Battie. However it is safe to say that a weakness would be our guards on the bench's defense. These players are explosive on offense but mediocre on the defensive side of the ball. Franchise Player:- Elton Brand Elton Brand is the rock of this franchise as everything runs through him. He controls the paint and wreaks havoc for opposing teams on both ends of the floor. He is fortunate enough to play with another franchise type player in Jamal Mashburn that has helped Brand even elevate his game further. Trade Block:Anyone is always available but Elton Brand and Manu Ginobili look to be untouchable. Season Outlook:The Bulls will be playing with a bit of a chip on their shoulder this season as they were embarrassed the first round last season getting swept by the Nets. No Bull was awarded at the season's end either for personal acalades which both Elton Brand and Jamal Mashburn felt insulted. The Bulls are looking for a title crown or bust.
