The Chicago Bulls are in a strange spot as they move into next season, and they could make some big changes before the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

Entering this season, the Bulls are still in a bit of a confusing spot. After making the play-in but missing the playoffs for the third straight season, the Bulls are in that same tier again going into next season.<\/p>\n

Although the Bulls likely won\u2019t be bad enough to truly tank for a top pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, their recent moves signal a focus on developing their young talent. Of course, that could soon mean the departures of some more of Chicago\u2019s more experienced players.<\/p>\n

Time to give up on the Patrick Williams project?<\/h2>\n

Over the past five seasons, the Bulls have been waiting to see Williams break out and become one of the team\u2019s most important players. While he has proven to be a good 3-point shooter and a solid defender, Williams hasn\u2019t developed into the all-around player Chicago was hoping to have when it drafted the Florida State product with the No. 4 pick in 2020.<\/p>\n

As Athlon\u2019s Nathaniel Holloway recently pointed out, Williams\u2019 struggles to develop and also to stay on the floor could lead to the Bulls searching for a new home for him at some point next season. While Chicago still had some faith in him just a year ago, giving him a five-year, $90 million deal in 2024, he might just be better off in a new environment next year and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
