While the Chicago Bulls made several splashy moves in 2021 by adding DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Alex Caruso to this team’s core, the Bulls were incredibly quiet in last year’s free agency period. After making no moves in three straight transaction cycles, there’s mounting pressure on the front office to make the most of this 2023 free agent class.
But with less than half of the roster already on guaranteed deals for next season, the Bulls will have a difficult time just trying to retain their own talent, let alone adding more outside help. The clock is ticking for Chicago to make the most out of this small window they’ve opened, so the start of the free agency period has to be the date circled on every fan’s calendar this summer.
