The Chicago Bulls don’t want to rebuild. Arturas Karnisovas has made that clear. But if the plan is to run it back, which it probably shouldn’t be, the Bulls need to add significant support around their Big Three. However, before they can do that, they need to focus on keeping their core intact.
Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan are under contract, but the third member of Chicago’s Big Three, Nikola Vucevic, will be an unrestricted free agent this summer if he and the Bulls don’t come to an agreement on a contract extension by the end of the month. If he hits the open market, Vucevic will undoubtedly have plenty of suitors.
