How about Orlando last year? They were not good all year long, then they went on a huge run at the end of the year, and just missed the playoffs. Runs always take place with good/solid teams (remember in 2005 when the Celtics traded for Walker again and the team won 11 of the next 12?). The Bulls will bounce back, so will Miami.
I understand that, I'm just tying to say that most people knew Chicago would become contenders very soon. It was obvious how bright their future was.With or without Wallace Chicago would still be contenders very soon.
