Bulls urged to bring back Javonte Green in free agency

The Chicago Bulls have made multiple moves this summer. In hopes of getting back into the playoffs next season, Chicago stayed active in free agency. It has no intention of taking a step back. Instead, it adjusted the roster for the better, bringing back core pieces and adding impact players.

Chicago re-signed Nikola Vucevic, Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu. In free agency, it signed Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig. The changes improved the ceiling of the roster, but more moves could be out there if the Bulls want to secure a playoff spot next season.

According to Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report, the Bulls should look to bring back Javonte Green as a late free agency steal.

“Chicago could start its search in-house, as Green has spent the past two-plus seasons in the Windy City.

“During this stretch, he has further established himself as one of the league’s better defensive role players and showed some encouraging developments with his shot. Those were most apparent in the past two seasons, when his connection rates climbed to 54.7 percent from the field, 36 percent from three and 78 percent at the free-throw line.

“But his 2022-23 campaign was thrown off track by right knee surgery. Once the calendar flipped to the new year, he only made four more appearances, none of which lasted longer than 14 minutes.

“Still, if the Bulls have reasons to be confident about his health, then they also have reasons to want him back. They’ve seen the kind of impact he can make as a low-maintenance player who won’t take touches away from Vučević, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan,” Buckley wrote.
