Chicago Bulls Strike New Deal With 28-Year-Old Veteran
The Bulls kept Zach Collins on a two-year, $17 million extension while exploring veteran guard options and clearing roster space for young players.
- On Tuesday, the Chicago Bulls extended center Zach Collins ahead of free agency, then signed guard Norman Powell to a two-year deal on Wednesday to address outside shooting needs.
- Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Bryson Graham is prioritizing a rebuild using roughly $23 million in cap space, with Powell's 39.6% three-point shooting addressing a critical void.
- Despite playing only 38 games last season, Collins provides a bruising, defensive-minded presence; the Bulls also exercised a $2.4 million option on forward Leonard Miller.
- These acquisitions prioritize long-term development over an immediate playoff push, as the team avoids pursuing expensive stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo amid the new 3-2-1 draft lottery system.
- Collins could serve as a trade asset in six months when he becomes eligible to be shopped, as the front office continues its multi-year plan under coach Tiago Splitter.
