The on-the-court upgrades the Bulls made on the first two days of free agency will be immediate.
A pure play-making point guard in Lonzo Ball, who understands how to run a team with pace, as well as having positional size and a willingness to defend to impact both ends of the floor, and then a pick-and-roll defensive expert in Alex Caruso, who understands winning and doing the dirty work that impact games.
Then on Tuesday, a sign-and trade with the Spurs to land small forward DeMar DeRozan for a cost to the Bulls of three years and $85 million, sending out yet another first-round future pick, veteran Thad Young and an expiring contract in Al-Farouq Aminu.
