Chicago Bulls
Team Summary
Acquired Nic Claxton in the three-team Randle deal to anchor the defense, then added veteran wing scoring by signing Norman Powell (2yr/$45M) and retained Zach Collins as frontcourt depth. Anfernee Simons departed for Philadelphia on the MLE, leaving the backcourt to Josh Giddey and Rob Dillingham with lottery talent Matas Buzelis on the wing — still no true franchise cornerstone. Nick Richards remains an unsigned UFA, thinning the center rotation behind Claxton. With ~$16M in cap space and developmental pieces (Caleb Wilson, Leonard Miller), this is a play-in hopeful banking on internal growth and deadline consolidation.
