BREAKING NEWS | CHICAGO BULLS SIGN NORMAN POWELL To 2 Year $45 Million Contract

The Chicago Bulls made their first move of NBA free agency by re-signing Zach Collins to a two-year, $17 million deal — but was that the right opening move for Bryson Graham and this new front office? 👀🐂

On today’s episode of Locked On Bulls, Haize and Pat The Designer break down what Zach Collins returning means for the Bulls’ frontcourt, rotation, and offseason flexibility. Collins gives Chicago another experienced big man, but the bigger question remains: does this move actually solve enough for a roster that still needs shooting, scoring, and reliable depth?

The guys also react to a surprisingly quiet Day One of free agency, not just for the Bulls, but around the NBA as a whole. With fewer major moves than expected, did Chicago benefit from staying patient? Or should Bulls fans be concerned that the front office has not been more aggressive early?

Haize and Pat then look at the best remaining free agent targets who could still make sense for the Bulls. Chicago still needs more perimeter shooting, wing scoring, and lineup balance around Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, Dailyn Swain, and the rest of the young core. The Bulls may have brought Collins back, but the offseason work is far from finished.
