Chicago Bulls: 3 early crucial offseason trade targets to watch

Following the surprising regular season finale win over the divisional foe Milwaukee Bucks on the night of May 16 at home at the United Center, the Chicago Bulls have officially reached the offseason. First-year head coach Billy Donovan and the Bulls wound up finishing up the regular season while missing the postseason for the fourth straight year.

The last time that the Bulls made it to the postseason was back in 2017 when star shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler was leading the way for this team. The Bulls are now on their third head coach since they last made it into the postseason, and the roster looks a whole lot different since that time.

Finishing up the regular season with a record of 31-41, it’s clear that Donovan and the Bulls have improved since last season, but they still have a long way to go. More change is sure to come to this roster in the offseason. Just what change is looming for the Bulls this offseason is a big looming question mark for this front office.

Targets for the Chicago Bulls front office to watch this offseason

Executive VP of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley remained mostly quiet last offseason, but that shouldn’t be true again this summer. A more fruitful cycle of free agency combined with some bigger name players having their contracts run up means a busy offseason ahead.

What the Bulls do on the trade block also remains uncertain heading into the offseason. We do know that the Bulls do already have a few players they’re rumored to be interested in this offseason.

With that in mind, here’s a look into three offseason trade targets already on the Bulls’ radar.
