Black Friday 2021 is a busy day for the Chicago Bulls. Second-year head coach Billy Donovan and the Bulls are getting set to take part in the front end of back-to-back games, starting on the night of Black Friday (Nov. 26). And the Bulls are looking to snap a two-game losing streak if they can take down the Orlando Magic on the road on the front end of back-to-back games on Nov. 26.
It is important for the Bulls to get a win over the Magic at the Amway Center heading into the weekend since the back end of these back-to-back games won’t come easy. The Bulls will return home to the friendly confines of the United Center on Nov. 27 to take on star shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.
During this two-game losing streak, there were some potential problems uncovered for this Bulls rotation. First and foremost is the fact that there is a lack of overall depth among the more traditional big men in the rotation. When the Bulls were missing star center Nikola Vucevic in the last couple of weeks, there were some teams with talented big men that exposed the frontcourt (i.e. Portland Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers).
Where does the Black Friday free agent shopping list start for the Chicago Bulls?
There is also an apparent lack of bench production at times. With the Bulls still waiting on third-year point guard Coby White to get back to full strength and having a frontcourt/forward unit that is just thin on scorers in general, there could be a looming need to add help among the reserves.
With this being Black Friday, here’s a look at four free agents that could be on the shopping list for the Bulls at this point of the season.
