The Chicago Bulls are one of the most famous NBA teams. This is mainly because of Michael Jordan and his dynasty with them. However, they are on a trip back to glory as they were quite active during the NBA off-season. Led by Zach Lavine, the Bulls will hope to get back in playoff contention.

The Bulls finally signed Zo. Chicago has had their eyes on him for quite some time. Lonzo, who came into the league with high expectations, failed to deliver. Now, he has fixed his jump shot and has been a serious threat from down town. He averaged 14.6 points, 5 assists, and 38% from deep in the 2020-21 season.

  • DeMar DeRozan

The Bulls’ best signing in the off-season by far, DeRozan has been playing at an All-Star level in San Antonio. He was one of the league’s best one-on-one players last season. Moreover, his midrange game is on point. He will add the necessary scoring to the Bulls roster. Putting up 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists, he will be a great second option after Zach Lavine.

Outgoing players

  • Lauri Markannen

The most notable free agent right now is Markannen. He is an up-and-coming power forward who impressed early. However, as he has not been seen playing for the Bulls in recent times, he may sign with a new team soon.

  • Thaddeus Young

Young was a part of the deal in bringing DeRozan to Chicago. He was a valuable player to the Bulls as he averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds while shooting 55% from the field. Moreover, he played in 68 games for them last season. He will now play for the San Antonio Spurs.
