Most of the options that I’ve personally taken into consideration that make sense for the Chicago Bulls to fill this looming need at the four include Paul Millsap, Nicolo Melli, Patrick Patterson, etc. But there is another name that could come to the forefront for the Bulls to fill the need at the four if the restricted free agent and fourth-year power forward Lauri Markkanen doesn’t return next season.
A potential replacement for the Bulls could emerge at the four in the former Denver Nuggets, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Houston Rockets big man Isaiah Hartenstein.
