The 2022 NBA Playoffs rage on without the Chicago Bulls, and it has been an incredibly entertaining few weeks even though Billy Donovan’s crew exited early.

Now that the season is officially over for the Bulls, it is time to look ahead at the impending offseason. The Bulls have the 2022 NBA Draft to look forward to, which takes place June 23. Following the draft, it’s all about free agency during the summer.

The Bulls have some decisions to make this offseason with a few of their own free agents, and might even have to make a decision on some guys under contract. Last season, it was clear the Bulls lacked energy, scoring and some defense off the bench, especially when some key injuries took place.

During the free agency period, the Bulls should look to address some of those needs while also having to navigate through the Zach LaVine saga.

The 2022 NBA Playoffs feature some key free agents the Chicago Bulls could pursue this summer.

Along with a guy like LaVine, there are a plethora of free agents hitting the market this summer that made an impact for their current playoff team this season. Many of them would be upgrades over players the Bulls could lose this summer.

Some of the Bulls’ free agents this year include: Derrick Jones Jr., Tristan Thompson, Troy Brown Jr. (team option), Tyler Cook (team option), Malcom Hill (team option) and Tony Bradley (player option).

Chicago has preached continuity as the key word over this coming summer as their core heads into Year 2 together, but they won’t be able to do it alone. If they want to sign one or two key free agents with playoff experience from this year, one of these five veterans would help them greatly.
