3 Bulls Free Agent Targets REVEALED…

That you won’t find anywhere else but here on bulls digest so without further Ado we’ll get into the topic at hand there today being major offseason targets so it’s no secret that the Bulls kind of fumbled a bag so to speak at the trade deadline and made absolutely no
Moves which really didn’t help them with injuries that have happened since or even at that time and then on top of that they were a mediocre team back at that time and still are I mean Kobe white right now is down with an injury hopefully will come back soon we have
Patrick Williams out for the season as well as Zack lav out for the season and Lonzo Ball’s been out for about two years there’s a lot of issues with injury on this team and they really should have probably made a move at deadline but these moves could
Definitely work for the Bulls come this off season and I’m going to be breaking down my opinions on them and what direction I think the Bulls should really go in this one started out by Andy Bailey saying realistic optimistic and dream free agent targets for every
NBA team now he’s saying right here the potential spending power for the Bulls under the non-t taxpayers mid-level is $12.9 million the reason will be mo Vagner on a team option with Andre Drummond set to potentially enter free agency Nicole vuich is the only true big man under contract for the Bulls next
Season another Center would help Mo Vagner has quietly developed and won the League’s more reliable backups and this season he’s averaging 11 four and a half boards in just 18 minutes while shooting 67% on TW and this is honestly the breakout season so to speak for Mo
Vagner the best season of his career by a decent margin so for so far sorry as we just mentioned put up about 11 points a game and the field goal percentage overall is about 60% not just on TES we can actually see here when we look and
Break down his stats that he is playing 18 minutes a game which is just shy of a career high uh last year he also played 18.6 for Washington in his second season and yeah I mean it’s been nothing but good for him he hasn’t started as many
Games as he did last year but on about the same amount of field goals I mean it’s 0.1 the difference he’s shooting almost 10% better the 3o percentage is still around the same but that field goal percentage is quite a drastic change which is great to see and he can
Still shoot free throws which he’s been good at for his entire career putting up about 11 and five with an assist is very good and he is a solid offensive big man then the right situation I think would be able to stretch the floor for a team
Like the Bulls he has shot just around League average throughout his career a little bit below as you can see there it’s actually 32% from three but definitely if he’s got the right shooting coach if he goes with the bull system things work out a bit more it’s
Happened with players when they hover around just being about mediocre to becoming at least League average or solid enough to knock down that shot he could be a solid replacement if Andre Drummond doesn’t come back gives us a little bit more Mobility off of the bench where V isn’t the most mobile big
Man around and I do think that is a very reasonable and solid option as long as the magic are willing to let him go where he is France’s brother and fron is a top player on the Orlando Magic I wouldn’t say he’s quite the franchise players I would probably say that as Pao
Banko the former number one overall pick who was an allar this season but fron is still a very important piece for the magic and maybe Mo and him could be a potential package deal down the road next next person we can see here is the optimistic take being Kelly UB Jr in the
Event the Bulls aren’t able to move LaVine and tip off a rebuild this summer UB Jr is the kind of multi-positional wing who could help them continue to compete for play in births his three-point shooting still leaves something to be desired but UB slashing competitiveness could be a boost to
Chicago’s depth now I don’t think the bull should try to stay in this playin race that’s not exactly what I’d want to do especially like keeping LaVine then also adding in Kelly UB Jr that’s a very strange take in my opinion uh I don’t agree with that one at all I wouldn’t go
After that one if I were the Bulls I would much prefer Mo Vagner if Drummond is the league of course and even if he wasn’t maybe Mo can play some minutes at the four and some big ball lineups it would definitely add some security there at that position we’ve needed some floor
Spacing and mo could definitely develop into that in my opinion right now he’s mediocre like we just mentioned but could become better and then when we look at UB Jr he really is a shot chucker sometimes efficient sometimes not struggling a little bit this year he
Started off to a hot start then had the accident of course and ever since with injuries on the team him having to shoot more and so on and so forth it hasn’t been there as efficient I don’t like the look of Kelly UB Jr over Mo Vagner for
The reason of uh just fit overall I don’t really think that we’d need another uh shooting guard slsf on this team more so than a big I would definitely go the mo Vagner route there but let’s check in on how Kelly UB was playing this season you can see there
That uh this year he’s in 55 games he stirred 39 of those a lot to do with injuries 30 minutes a game 45% from the field just 30 from three on 4.6 attempt struggle from three again last year and on his career is below average three-point shooter but takes a lot of
Them which is why that one is a little bit more chucker esque than Mo Vagner on a low amount of attempts he’s still managing to put up 15 points and five rebounds but only one assist at the small forward position there this season he also plays some shooting guard of
Course but has started a lot of the uh career that he’s had so far at small forward he is shooting 53% on twos but it’s just that struggling factor of him knocking down three points shots consistently do we want a guy that can’t consistently knock down the three uh not
Really at that position I would definitely pass on UB Jr uh if there were other options on the table next we can see here the dream would be buddy hee the Bulls are in the bottom half of the league in both threes per game and three-point percentage so volume outside
Shooter like heal at 3.1 threes with a 40% 3point percentage for his career would do a lot to open up the middle of the floor for LaVine and Vu now this buddy heeled situation yes I do agree that would work better if LaVine were to stay they could have LaVine probably
Play the three they could then have buddy heeled at the two but the thing that the article doesn’t mention here is what if we resigned deard de Rosen what if Patrick Williams is kept on the team what if line is moved what what will happen there that’s what’s really
Interesting to me I do think that buddy heel would be a solid fit on the team because he is one of the best three-point Shooters of all time if you don’t believe me look at the records he’s hold or still holds to this day for three-point shooting he has really
Helped revolutionize that game along with Steph Curry and hasn’t really been given enough credit for doing so he fits pretty much every team in my opinion he is a poor Defender but you can definitely fit a a knockdown three-point shooter in pretty well every team in the
NBA and just try to put Defenders around him I do think Buddy heel would fit this team regardless if LaVine were to stay or go and that definitely is a dream but if they are able to acquire buddy hee uh definitely something think the Bulls should go over that would be my number
One option out of those guys number two would be mo Vagner because I think positionally that makes the most sense for the Bulls but why not try to acquire both they should be able to do something like that uh both players buddy heel probably w a little bit more money but I
Do think they could get Mo Vagner on a bit of a lower deal for sure maybe 10 to 12 per uh and uh yeah try to roll the dice on those two I’d stay away from Kelly Bray Jr and overall if I was this team I would definitely try to tank on
The fly if you know what I mean do a bit of a retool uh I think that signing d m rozan is really a situational thing there are talks that he could sign a extension before the entrance of free agency but I really wouldn’t rely on
That all too much I mean Vu is still on this team LaVine hopefully they’d be able to trade away in the off season kind of see what the young guys can do dum is breaking out as of late there’s lots of guys really stepping up on this
Team such as Kobe white this season who’s probably going to win most improved player and let’s really show see how it plays out really show the you know the Telltale all of the tape and see exactly how this team can mesh together if they make some moves uh
First off I would definitely start with LaVine I think they need to get rid of him and try to make an adjustment there right away this been your old showy mer so let me know what you think about this one down below in the comment section

Mo Wagner would help unless the Bulls draft center Kyle Filipkowski the 7 ft. center from Duke who can dribble and shoot and who is a lot more mobile than Vooch.
(MO WAGNER, KELLY OUBRE Y BUDDY HIELD). "LA INTENCIÓN DE LA DIRIGENCIA ENCABEZADA POR PARTE DE ARTURAS KARNISOVAS Y MARC EVERSLEY, SERÍA COMPRAR A UNO DE LOS 3, O DIRECTAMENTE A LOS 3?". GRACIAS.
They just need a new coach and 1 legit PF
