Chicago Bulls: 3 players who likely won’t be back next season

Another disappointing Chicago Bulls season is in the books. The Bulls finished 31-41 and missed the postseason for the fourth consecutive season. It’s now been a full decade since the last time the Bulls made the conference finals, as well as a decade since Derrick Rose’s MVP season.

A lot has changed in the past ten years. In fact, a lot has changed in Chicago in just the last year. Billy Donovan was brought in as head coach. Gar Forman isn’t with the organization anymore, while John Paxson was reassigned. The team even traded for All-Star center Nikola Vucevic just a few months ago.

But that isn’t the end of the story for these Bulls. For Chicago to make it back to the postseason, more changes are going to need to be made.

The Chicago Bulls are likely to part ways with a few players in the offseason in an effort to end their four-year playoff drought.

Many eyes in Chicago will be on the additions, rather than the subtractions. The rumors sending Lonzo Ball to the city through restricted free agency will likely persist until Ball signs on the dotted line somewhere this summer.

The players who don’t return may prove to be just as important, however. The Bulls could part ways with a number of players this summer who were initially seen as being big parts of the franchise’s future. They’ve instead fallen out of favor and will likely see their careers prosper or end elsewhere.

Here are three players who have likely played their last game in a Chicago Bulls uniform.
