Chicago Bulls Free Agency: Top 5 realistic point guard options
By Ryan Heckman
When the 2021 NBA free agency period opens up on Monday, the Chicago Bulls will undoubtedly be busy.
Last year, the Bulls completely renovated their front office and now, should show much more aggressiveness in building a contender. Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley already proved that aggressiveness by trading for Nikola Vucevic last season.
Now, with some money to spend and other decisions to make, things should get quite eventful.
As most fans know, the most pertinent need for the Bulls this offseason is at point guard. Coby White may not be the point guard of the future for Chicago, and he’s also recovering from an injury right now. Meanwhile, Tomas Satoransky could be traded or cut in order to save the Bulls $5 million.
There are some excellent, realistic options at point guard for the Chicago Bulls.
Regardless of what happens with White or Satoransky, one thing is abundantly clear: the Bulls will add at least one point guard during free agency.
With all of the names potentially available, there are a few that don’t make sense for the Bulls. First and foremost, Chris Paul will more than likely be returning to the Phoenix Suns. The same could be said about Mike Conley’s situation. He’ll probably stay put with the Utah Jazz.
Just about any other name in the point guard pool is fair game, though. But, not every one of them makes sense. These five point guards are the most realistic options for the Bulls, and any one of them would make this team a whole lot more interesting in 2021-2022.
