Frequently Asked Questions
How many players have expiring contracts with the Bulls this season?
The Bulls have nine expiring contracts, with six of them being fully contracted NBA players. The remaining three are G League or two-way players including Mac McClung, Yuki Kawamura, and Lachlan Olbrich.
Which Bulls players are most likely to leave in free agency?
Anfernee Simons, Nick Richards, Guerschon Yabusele, and Collin Sexton are all expected to walk this summer. These players don't fit the Bulls' rebuild timeline or have mutual interest in parting ways.
Will Jaden Ivey be back with the Bulls next season?
Despite injury concerns, Ivey has a 50%+ chance of returning because he was the biggest trade deadline splash and is a restricted free agent. AK can match any offer and will likely give him a shorter extension to see the gamble through.
Why did the Bulls acquire so many players at the trade deadline if they're just going to lose them?
Five of the acquired players can walk in free agency just two months after being brought to Chicago, leaving many fans confused by the strategy. The moves created a surplus of guards when the Bulls are expected to draft another guard.
What's wrong with Zach Collins and will he return to the Bulls?
Collins has missed over 65% of his possible games with the franchise, including 72 of 82 games this year due to injuries. Despite the injury concerns, he's expected to get a short extension at a low price because he's effective when healthy and fits well with the young core.
