The Chicago Bulls made all sorts of noise this summer through the free agency negotiation window thus far. It all started when the Bulls pulled off a big-time sign-and-trade deal to nab restricted free agent point guard Lonzo Ball from the New Orleans Pelicans.

Then, we would see the Bulls sign the likes of the former Los Angeles Lakers point guard Alex Caruso, OKC Thunder center Tony Bradley, and sign-and-trade for former San Antonio Spurs star shooting guard/forward DeMar DeRozan. Definitely, the biggest head-scratcher of the four free agent signings for executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley thus far was DeRozan.
