The difference? A more balanced roster, a breakout from\u00a0Coby White, and the emergence of\u00a0Josh Giddey\u00a0as a legitimate lead guard.<\/p>\n<p>Giddey, who will be a restricted free agent, averaged 22.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 9.1 assists post-February. Only he and\u00a0Michael Jordan\u00a0have averaged 10-7-7 in a Bulls season. His six triple-doubles are tied for fourth-most in franchise history. Safe to say, priority No. 1 this summer is locking him up \u2014 and Chicago\u00a0has a big edge\u00a0in doing so, thanks to RFA rules.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ybmedia\/image\/upload\/c_crop,e_improve,h_1123,w_2000,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,f_auto,h_900,q_auto,w_1600\/v1\/m\/c\/d\/cd28ed1ddadb0a0096e5adc9b0be50501c6318b5\/apr-9-2025-chicago-illinois-usa-chicago-bulls.jpg\" alt=\"BULLS' CORNER: Bulls Offseason Primer - Chicago Betting On Josh Giddey, Coby White, And A Summer Reset!!.TS.THUONG.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>White, meanwhile, followed up a runner-up finish in Most Improved Player voting by winning Eastern Conference Player of the Month in March and is eligible for a four-year, $89 million extension starting July 10. Whether it gets done this summer remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulls own the 12th or 13th pick in June, plus No. 45 via Sacramento. They\u2019ve got flexibility, too: $46 million under the tax line, the full $14.1M non-taxpayer midlevel, biannual and trade exceptions ($17.2M and $2.9M), and a reset cap sheet.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re still thin defensively \u2014 ranked 23rd in efficiency, dead last in paint points allowed \u2014 and eight of their 12 players are on expiring deals. But with nine guys aged 25 or younger, their own picks back, and financial control\u2026 this feels like a new era.<\/p>\n<p>President of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas isn\u2019t calling it a final product.
