With the goal of improving their roster’s ceiling, the Chicago Bulls attacked free agency from its start. Arturas Karnisovas stated the team had no intention of rebuilding, and shifted his efforts to getting back to the postseason.
Chicago re-signed Nikola Vucevic and Coby White. In free agency, the Bulls brought in Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig. However, there could be more moves for them to make. They may only have one roster spot left, but some solid players are still available in free agency.
According to Elias Schuster of Bleacher Nation, Kelly Oubre Jr. could be a potential target.
“I suppose it’s possible that Oubre signs a deal higher than the veteran minimum, but he also remains on the market for a reason,” Schuster wrote. “While he did average 20.3 points per game in his 48 appearances for the Charlotte Hornets last year, he chucked up nearly 17 shots per game and converted at just a 43.1 percent clip. If the Bulls want to add a scoring punch to their second unit, Oubre might be worth a call. But they also better be ready for some ice-cold nights and some frustrating decision-making.”
Oubre Jr. had a large role with the Charlotte Hornets this past season, but they finished in 14th place in the Eastern Conference standings.
The 6-foot-7 wing is still just 27 years old and could help improve Chicago’s offense with his 3-point shooting and shot creation.
