Chicago Bulls

Key additions: Lonzo Ball, DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso 

The Chicago Bulls were not really expected to make a big splash but an argument could be made that they made the biggest during free agency. At the start of free agency, they added Lonzo Ball and then punctuated their work by landing DeMar DeRozan.

If nothing else, the Bulls will have one of the most talented rosters in the Eastern Conference. Do all their pieces fit perfectly? Well, that’s an entirely different question. Nevertheless, the core of Ball, DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic is quite intriguing.

If Chicago can figure out how to make all their pieces fit and work together, there’s no question that this will be a playoff team this upcoming season.
