Former Chicago Bulls: 4 best Jimmy Butler landing spots

The odds that the former Chicago Bulls standout wing and current Philadelphia 76ers small forward Jimmy Butler stays in the East this summer are good.

Free agency discussions are soon going to heat up in a big way. As far as the Chicago Bulls are concerned, a host of former players could be key targets for this cycle of free agency. Among those former Chicago Bulls that could be a target to come back to the Windy City this summer, Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose looks to be the focal point. The Philadelphia 76ers wing Jimmy Butler is one of the headliners of this free agent class.

The Chicago Bulls don’t really have the room salary cap-wise to pursue a wing that would cost as much as Jimmy Butler in free agency this off-season. The wing position is locked down at the moment for the Chicago Bulls with the former Washington Wizards sharpshooter Otto Porter Jr. There is little to no need to bring in a star that would cost as much as Jimmy Butler.

This is also not to mention the drama that would come along with the Chicago Bulls doing something like bringing Jimmy Butler back to the Windy City. There are also numerous contenders out there that could really use the help from a star two-way wing like Jimmy Butler in free agency this summer.

Here, we’ll take a bit of a deeper dive into the different landing spots that would be best for Jimmy Butler, likely outside of the Chicago Bulls. He does have at least five or six suitors that should really want to go after him in this cycle of free agency.
