While other NBA front offices make splashes, Bulls general manager Gar Forman sits at the Berto Center in a dry blazer.

This upsets those who think the Bulls should be busier. Prudence can be easy to overlook for people driven by ratings and Web clicks; patience is every fan’s enemy. Reality says the Bulls have blocked out any noise and stuck to the plan fate revised for them when Derrick Rose injured his knee.

Contrary to the belief of many I’ve heard from wondering what the Bulls are doing, that plan remains winning an NBA title. It might not be the 2013 NBA title. Barring unforeseen injuries or South Beach sinking into the Atlantic Ocean, it probably isn’t the 2014 NBA title either.
