Chicago Bulls: 3 new signings who could be with team long-term

All of the big-time roster moves that the Chicago Bulls made during the offseason are about to come to fruition for head coach Billy Donovan in his second year at the helm. Donovan and the Bulls should be a much more formidable team among some of the real postseason contenders in the Eastern Conference during the regular season.

This Bulls team looks a lot better heading into this season than it did last in the first year under this new front office regime and coaching staff. Executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley put in a lot of work since the trade deadline last season to retool this roster in the image they want for the future of this franchise.

A number of the acquisitions from the last 18 months for the Bulls were also let go during the offseason. Two of the bigger ones included the former Boston Celtics and new Houston Rockets center Daniel Theis and New Orleans Pelicans veteran shooting guard Garrett Temple.

Key pieces of the previous Bulls young core were also dealt out since last offseason. That includes players ranging from center Wendell Carter Jr. and point guard Kris Dunn, all the way to center Daniel Gafford and power forward Lauri Markkanen.

One of the key aspects of note for the Bulls among all of these new additions is identifying which of them could be long-term pieces for this franchise. Here’s a look into three new additions for the Bulls that could be long-term pieces for this team.
