Chicago Bulls: 4 impending free agents to watch when season resumes

While the Chicago Bulls will not be resuming play, they should be watching a few impending free agents closely.

Since the 2019-2020 season hit the pause button, there have been a lot of uncertainties within the Chicago Bulls organization. The first, obviously, had been whether or not we would see the Bulls take the court again this year.

Of course, we all received the answer to that question recently when the NBA announced it would return in July. Out of the 30 teams, only 22 will resume play when the league picks back up for eight more regular season games in the now-dubbed Orlando bubble.

It almost seems as though the Bulls knew their season was done back in March, because when the league took a break, they began making some serious moves. It began when the Bulls had John Paxson take a back seat. No longer would he wear the Vice President name tag. That title now belongs to Arturas Karnisovas, who is tasked with bringing the Bulls back from the ashes.

Along with Paxson, the Bulls will no longer allow Gar Forman any sort of power, as he is no longer the general manager — enter: Marc Eversley.

The only important decision left for Chicago is what they will do at the head coach position. It’s a foregone conclusion that Jim Boylen is as good as gone, but who replaces him?

First things first. For Bulls fans and basketball fans everywhere, it’s time to focus on the season’s return. There will be NBA basketball once more, and if all goes according to plan, we will see an NBA champion crowned for this unprecedented season.

As the season picks back up, the Bulls and their fans should be paying attention to a few players in particular. I don’t think the Bulls will be big free agent players in 2020, but a handful of mid-tier names will be available to sign once the season is over. These are the guys you’ll want to keep an eye on.
