5 Dream Targets For Chicago Bulls In 2017 NBA Free Agency

Blake Griffin, PF – Los Angeles Clippers

Right now, the Bulls could use some more star power in the frontcourt. While Bobby Portis has flashed some potential as the starting power forward and Robin Lopez is far from the worst starting center in the NBA, an upgrade wouldn’t be the worst idea.

Unfortunately, the options scheduled to hit the open market are limited. There are only a couple of top-tier big men set to be available, with Blake Griffin being the only true superstar of the bunch. That is, unless you’re brave enough to consider Paul Millsap a superstar–which I’m not.

Let’s not pretend like the Bulls would pass on an opportunity to sign Griffin. He’s easily one of the NBA’s most athletic big men, and uses that athleticism well when it comes to making big plays on the court. While he’s dealt with a slew of injuries in recent years, Griffin can make an undeniable impact when healthy.

Would this be a solve-all for the Bulls? Probably not. It would, however, give their frontcourt a much-needed boost while also giving their offense some serious firepower in the paint. Griffin bringing his talents to Chicago would absolutely help this franchise get over the steep hill it’s currently climbing.
