Since the Chicago Bulls have a lot of work left to do this offseason, they should breath a sigh of relief with the stability they find in these three.
There’s a lot of chatter recently surrounding some of the top players on the current Chicago Bulls roster. Entering the fourth year of the rebuild, and with a new look front office regime in place, the Bulls do have some key long-term decisions to make over the course of the next two offseasons. One of those will be the beginning of the re-signing considerations for some of the top Bulls players that are soon having their rookie contracts run up.
The main names that come to mind in that discussion are power forward Lauri Markkanen and point guard Kris Dunn. But it won’t be all that long before other key Bulls players like shooting guard Zach LaVine and center Wendell Carter Jr. are encroaching on contract years either.
But it seems like every significant Bulls player emerged in some trade discussion at different points of the still young offseason thus far. LaVine was really the first significant name to surfaced, then followed by the likes of Markkanen and Carter Jr.
There also shouldn’t be really any movement in any rumor that would involve the likes of rookies Coby White and Daniel Gafford.
Veteran forward Thaddeus Young also had his name often mentioned in trade rumors since the deadline passed earlier this year. At this point, if it pleases the higher ups, it’s really hard to know what the Bulls will and won’t do.
Some of the seemingly obvious moves that most functional organizations around the NBA would make just aren’t being taken care of in Chicago at the moment.
Although we should know there’s a few players that shouldn’t be given up on yet.
