3 players Bulls should have signed in NBA free agency – USA Today
The Chicago Bulls decided to push forward this summer rather than peel back. After completely changing the outlook of their team two years ago, they’ve enjoyed middling success, having won just one playoff game with their new look core. In turn, they made an attempt to improve their roster this offseason.
In addition to retaining key players – Nikola Vucevic, Coby White, and Ayo Dosunmu – they brought in two free agents. Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig are set to help Chicago revamp its roster by adding quality defensive play and, more importantly, high-level 3-point shooting. But were they the right choices? And more importantly, should Chicago have done more?
Let’s take a look back at NBA free agency and reflect on three players the Bulls should have signed either in addition to Carter and Craig or instead of them.

This wouldn’t have solved the Bulls’ 3-point issues, but it would have given them a point guard capable of running the offense. Russell Westbrook could have immediately stepped in as the team’s primary facilitator.

For a team desperately in need of shooting, Seth Curry would have been the perfect signing. In terms of percentage, he’s one of the best 3-point shooters in league history. He could have helped elevate Chicago’s 3-point attack.

Adding Thomas Bryant would have given the Bulls a nice offensive boost at the center position behind Nikola Vucevic. They don’t have a third-string center (outside of two-way rookie Adama Sanogo), and Bryant could have filled that void.
