The 2025 NBA offseason was rather quiet, especially for the Chicago Bulls. After drafting 18-year-old Noa Essengue in the 2025 NBA Draft, Chicago traded Lonzo Ball to acquire Isaac Okoro and re-signed point guard Tre Jones to a three-year, $24 million contract. That's about it.
While adding a wing, or an athletic big man, was atop the Bulls' offseason to-do list, Chicago opted for neither, instead re-signing Jones. Of course, the former could be lumped into the Essengue and Okoro additions, but the fervor of each move wasn't necessarily felt.
Furthermore, the impact of Jones' re-signing is also subtle, flying under the radar despite its importance.
