Chicago Bulls: 3 Lakers free agents to sign this offseason

The Chicago Bulls could sign forward Rui Hachimura

Right now, one of the top ideas in regards to Los Angeles’ offseason is that they will do what they can to re-sign Austin Reaves while also adding another premier player. One of the rumors thrown out there by a lot of people in the media, at least, is Los Angeles bringing in Kyrie Irving to reunite with LeBron James.

If the Lakers re-sign Reaves and also sign Irving, they might not be able to bring back restricted free agent forward Rui Hachimura, who came up in some vital moments for them this past season.

After being traded from the Washington Wizards to the Lakers, Hachimura took a big step backward in his three-point shooting, which isn’t ideal. The Bulls could definitely use another deep shooter, and before joining Los Angeles, Hachimura was shooting over 33 percent from distance. While that’s not excellent, he’s had a history of scoring well from that range, shooting over 44 percent for the season a couple of years back.

Hachimura is still only 25 years old and is a versatile player, being able to line up at the three or the four. The Bulls could have a nice, young tandem between he and Patrick Williams, if they so desired.
