At a point of the offseason where the Chicago Bulls front office won’t be as busy as they will later in the summer months, there is an opportunity to sit back and scout what they have on hand at the moment. The Bulls do have a plethora of impending free agents that they will have to decide what to do with this summer.
And now is the time for executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley to figure out what the plan is for the Bulls’ impending free agents. There already looks to be some leading indicators as to what Karnisovas and the Bulls will do this offseason on the free agent market.
Having a decent mix of impending restricted and unrestricted free agents looming for the summer will complicate the Bulls’ decision-making a bit, though.
Chicago Bulls must bring back the right supporting cast for the 2021-22 season
Nearly half of the Bulls’ current roster at hand is set to either come up on a player option or hit some form of the free agent market this summer. The good news in that regard is that the Bulls likely have the four most important players in their newfound core set to return for next season.
That list of key Bulls players returning for next season includes rookie forward Patrick Williams, second-year point guard Coby White, star shooting guard Zach LaVine, and fellow star center Nikola Vucevic.
With that in mind, here’s a look into three Bulls’ impending free agents that the front office would be foolish not to bring back in some form or fashion for next season.
