5 Dream Targets For Chicago Bulls In 2017 NBA Free Agency

Kyle Lowry, PG – Toronto Raptors

As previously mentioned, the Bulls could use an upgrade at point guard. The mix of Grant, Rondo, Carter-Williams and Cameron Payne aren’t going to get the job done, especially if a couple of those names aren’t even on the roster in 2017-18.

I like Teague as a second-tier option, but these are dream scenarios–first-tier talent is far from off limits. Hence, the inclusion of Kyle Lowry on this list. And boy, if they could get him, Chicago would be trending in an unmistakably upward direction.

Despite his 30 years of age, Lowry is still one of the best point guards in the NBA. Prior to his recent injury, he had the Raptors rolling with 22.8 points, 6.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game on the season. However, with a player option this offseason, it’s not out of the realm of possibility to think he could decline and test the free agency waters.

If that’s the case, the Bulls would at least have to kick the tires on Toronto’s star guard. It would cost the team a pretty penny to bring him to the Windy City, but he’d immediately upgrade this Chicago backcourt with the potential to get this franchise back on track toward contention. That is, if he can stay healthy.
