While some fans may have rather seen the Chicago Bulls reset the roster at the trade deadline, they didn’t. Instead, they chose to compete for the postseason, keeping their roster intact. Now, they have no place to go this season but forward. They need to do everything they can to win and make the most of their situation.
In turn with that, they should be keeping an eye on the buyout market. There are some players who could become available that would help the Bulls win this season. But in addition, there are also some young guys they could take a chance on.
Elias Schuster of Bleacher Nation brought up the idea of Chicago potentially taking a chance on former Detroit Piston Killian Hayes.
“If the Chicago Bulls really want to take an upside swing, though, they should look no further than Killian Hayes,” Schuster wrote. “Still only 22 years old, the Pistons waived their former No. 7 overall pick last week. Of course, the fact they decided to move on from the highly-touted prospect says A LOT about his immense struggles. But the presence of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey also didn’t leave much room for Hayes to grow into his own with Detroit.”
The Hayes experiment failed in Detroit, and the Bulls already have plenty of solid guards, but maybe Chicago could get something out of him.
