Day one of free agency is officially in the books, and somewhat surprisingly, I can confidently that I’m actually pleased with the front office’s direction of the team thus far. While concerns remain that the Chicago Bulls are still desperately ducking the luxury tax threshold in the name of running a mediocre basketball team out on the court to sell tickets, they’ve yet to make a significant misstep with their limited assets this offseason.
This is particularly crucial, as the Bulls infamously sat out the NBA’s last three transactional cycles in the name of continuity. Having already executed one trade and four free agent signings this summer, it’s clear to see that Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley finally understand that this roster as constructed is not enough.
