Entering the 1982-83 season it would be the Chicago Bulls 17th season in the league. Plagued by mediocracy, the 1982-83 season found the team finishing in 9th place in the Eastern Conference. The loosing would actual help the overall future success of the franchise, as just two seasons later; their first round draft choice would land the salivation of the team, Michael Jordan.
