While the rest of the NBA world is ready to see who makes it out of the conference finals, the Chicago Bulls sit back and only wonder: what could have been?
Head coach Billy Donovan had a tough hand dealt to him this year, between injuries to key players and an early health and safety protocol situation, Chicago’s season featured plenty of adversity.
Now, as they are in the midst of their offseason earlier than they would have liked, the Bulls face some difficult questions ahead; questions surrounding the future of free agent to-be Zach LaVine and the health of starting point guard Lonzo Ball
Additional questions remain in regards to this roster and how they will go about filling it out if they choose to move on from some of their own free agents. One wise formula would be for the Bulls to snag a free agent or two from some of the league’s elite.
This summer, the Chicago Bulls should try and pull a free agent or two from the Miami Heat.
One of the remaining four teams, the Miami Heat, are as complete a roster as you will find in this league. In addition to top notch coaching behind Erik Spoelstra, the Heat simply have a phenomenal roster full of guys who know how to win.
Of course, the Bulls are familiar with Miami’s number one star, Jimmy Butler. But, it’s the rest of the crew who makes this a special team that’s on the brink of an NBA finals berth.
The Bulls need to find some depth this summer, and at key positions. Assuming LaVine returns to Chicago, signing one or two of these free agents away from the Heat would help Donovan and the Bulls in their quest to continue on the upward trend.
