A discussion that was looking to heat up last week concerning the Chicago Bulls and restricted free agent/fourth-year power forward Lauri Markkanen has calmed down in the past few days. The Bulls weren’t able to get any sign-and-trade deals done throughout the thick of the free agency negotiation window for Markkanen, and he still hasn’t found his next home yet.
The last we heard concerning the Markkanen sign-and-trade talk concerned the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves. But as the rest of the NBA landscape gets rosters set ahead of the start of Training Camp and the preseason, the Bulls still have a lot of holes to fill in the rotation.
