You know the offseason is close when free agency rumors begin swirling.
For the Bulls, that starts and ends with the unrestricted free agency of All-Star Zach LaVine.
After making the playoffs for the first time in his career and the first time since 2016-17 for the franchise, the Bulls can consider the 2021-22 season a success. The acquisitions of All-Star DeMar DeRozan, who had a career-season, Lonzo Ball, and Alex Caruso, helped stack the deck for Chicago’s roster around the likes of LaVine, Nikola Vucevic, and Patrick Williams.
