Current Bulls roster ahead of 2023-24 season
Chicago are striking a strategic balance as they head into the 2023-24 season. Although they hope to put together a club that can make the playoffs or at least the play-in round, they may decide to go in a different way. Alex Caruso and DeMar DeRozan are two players that might be of interest in a trade for the organization. Patrick Williams’s deal before the start of the season is also crucial since else he will have to enter restricted free agency in 2024.
Lonzo Ball’s retirement may have an effect on the team’s salary cap, but he would still be guaranteed his current contract. With Nikola Vucevic’s return, they might have as much as $35 million in salary cap space. Based on their preferences, Andre Drummond and Derrick Jones Jr. may either remain with the franchise or test the waters of free agency.
The team’s expected roster features major players across positions like Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Alex Caruso. After acquisitions and re-signings they shaped a formidable lineup.
