3 veteran forwards for the Chicago Bulls to target in free agency

The Chicago Bulls have some serious tweaking to do this summer. Arturas Karnisovas has stated his desire to avoid a rebuild and compete for a playoff spot next season, but if that’s the ultimate goal, then Chicago needs to make some big-time changes to the roster around their current core.

Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic are a solid group, but as we saw last season, they aren’t quite good enough to guarantee a playoff spot. That being said, if the Bulls put the right pieces around them, they should be able to lead the team on a postseason run.

Right now, Chicago’s forward position is led by a bunch of youngsters who could use some guidance. Here are three veteran forwards the Bulls should target in free agency this summer to provide depth and leadership.

JaMychal Green was able to give the Golden State Warriors solid minutes this past season. He wouldn’t be a primary option on the Bulls, but his leadership and ability to play around 15-20 minutes a night would be a nice addition next to the likes of Patrick Williams and Dalen Terry.

Similar to JaMychal Green, Markieff Morris wouldn’t give the Bulls a ton of minutes, but he’d be a great veteran to have on the bench. His toughness would be a nice addition, and during his time with the Dallas Mavericks this past season, he actually showed that he still has a solid three-point shot in his arsenal, which would be very useful for the Bulls.

Easily the most playable option on this list, Torrey Craig would be the perfect signing for the Bulls this summer. He’s a great 3-and-D option at the power forward spot who could probably be a starter on some teams. Craig would make the perfect backup to Williams at the four.
