There is no way. In the NBA, the worst thing that can happen is to be stuck in-between, navigating in no man's land without the option to compete or rebuild. That's where the Chicago Bulls have been anchored for a long time, and there is a striking fact that highlights the structural problem this poses for the franchise.
Taking 2016 as a reference point and thus having a decade of margin, it is noteworthy that the only franchise that has neither won a playoff series nor drafted an All-Star is the Chicago Bulls. A city and organization of this caliber cannot afford such a long journey through the desert. A series of bad decisions, unfortunate events, and poor management have led the team that was dominant in the 90s to find itself in the most absolute ostracism.
The future outlook is not very promising. Right now, it is unattractive for any player to sign with a franchise that hasn't been able to end failed projects when needed, yet has shown no ability to rebuild, adjust, or seek solutions along the way. In short, a real disaster for which there seems to be no simple solution.
