4. Jevon Carter
After signing a three-year, $20 million deal with the Bulls in the 2023 offseason, Jevon Carter completely disappeared. Before arriving in Chicago, Carter had made a name for himself as a rugged three-and-D guard with the Milwaukee Bucks. He shot over 40% from three in 101 games in Milwaukee and could defend multiple positions.
Bulls fans weren't able to see any of that from him. In his two seasons with the Bulls, Carter has made 33% of his threes and has a horrendous 49.2% True Shooting in 108 games.
As a result, he has fallen out of the rotation despite the team's desperate need for more perimeter defense.
What complicates things for the Bulls is that Carter has a player option for $6.8 million for next season. Just a minor item in the long list of frustrating decisions by GM Artūras Karnišovas, this player option ties Chicago's hands.
It's safe to assume that Carter will opt into his player option after his disastrous season. Can the Bulls trade him without having to attach additional assets? If that's the case, then it's a no-brainer. If no team is interested in the 29-year-old, then there is a chance he starts the season on the roster next season, and the Bulls will try to rehab his trade value.
Regardless of what happens this offseason, Carter's days in Chicago are numbered. The earlier he is gone, the better it will be for the Bulls.
