Following the moves made in free agency, the Chicago Bulls have some flexibility within their lineups. Check out some potential rotations.

The storm has quieted for the most part, and the 2019 NBA free agency period has provided us with some serious entertainment. The Chicago Bulls were actually a tad more active than some originally thought, signing a couple of player and making a trade as well.

When a lot of us thought the Bulls would have pulled the trigger on a trade during draft night a couple of weeks ago, the team opted to wait and ended up doing so whilst many free agents were switching uniforms.

Chicago’s sign-and-trade for former Washington Wizards point guard Tomas Satoransky was actually the second move they made, following their quick signing of veteran forward Thaddeus Young. Coming over from the Indiana Pacers, Young and the Bulls acted fast following the start of free agency on Sunday night.

After the additions of Young and Satoransky, the Bulls then re-signed point guard Ryan Arcidiacono to a 3-year contract and also brought in former New York Knicks center Luke Kornet.

I would venture to guess Chicago is about done in free agency, unless perhaps they wanted to bring in one more wing. The talk now is whether or not the team will keep Kris Dunn, who is apparently on the trade block.

So, the Bulls had now added a few key veterans to the current core including key guys like: Lauri Markkanen, Wendell Carter, Zach LaVine, Otto Porter, Coby White and Daniel Gafford.

If you ask me, the Bulls actually had a much better free agency period than the majority of fans could have asked for. Of course they won’t see a big name come to Chicago until the team wins more games, and this roster is capable of doing that.

Now that the roster is filled out a bit more, let’s look at some potential lineups head coach Jim Boylen could use during certain points of the game, beginning with the ideal starting five.
