Cause they suck at developing talent/make bad trades/have tragedies occur?

Actually for I think for one of those, they made a great trade to get the Knicks picks.

Looking at this another way, with the exception of Fizer, most of the Bulls' picks over the past 10 years turned out to be damn good.

The end of the dynasty killed us. We lost 2 stars and got nothing in return and a good 3rd player for nothing. Then we traded a 20 and 10 player for some unknown projects. Then we had the Jay Williams situation.
After that things got better and we made good decisions on trades.

Because we were terrible for a long time and got a couple from the Knicks.

Pretty good moves. Jay Williams would have been a good player, Fizer and that draft was a bust. Chicago didn't get one superstar though but they have the players to trade or sign one in the next two years.

Paxson Era
2008-Derrick Rose we just sucked
2007-Joahkim Noah via NY Knicks
2006-LaMarcus Aldridge via NY Knicks
2004-Ben Gordon still bad
2003-kirk Hinrich we were bad

Krause Era
2002-Jay Williams career injuriy( likes motorcycles)
2000-Marcus Fizer (Worst draft class EVER)
1999-Elton Brand (Krause drafted him then traded him for chandler wtf)

How can possibly miss 2001 with Curry/Chandler? In 2004, Deng as well.
