Karnisovas has said as much to the media.

I think the aggressive move to trade for Vucevic was to show LaVine (a player they want to resign) that they're serious about making the Bulls relevant again and changing the culture. Vucevic is at the tail end of his prime, LaVine is arguably there now. Those guys aren't gonna wait for a lottery pick to figure it out. The front office has chosen their core and they want to compete now.

Bulls fans have been conditioned (me included) to live and die by the draft.
What I'm learning is that depending on luck is not a plan.
