The Chicago Bulls are looking to improve during the offseason, and shaking up the roster may be the way to go. They are going to be in the lottery for the draft, so they can make some improvements there. However, being able to free up some cap space will be critical to making some free agent moves. There is one player who could be moved, so let’s tkae a closer look at who one outlet believes it will be.
Bleacher Report believes the Chicago Bulls will move on from Patrick Williams
Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report wrote an article listing one player from each NBA team that will most likely hit the trade block next. For the Bulls, he selected Patrick Williams. Below is what he wrote:
“The Chicago Bulls will almost certainly make Patrick Williams available this offseason.Whether or not another team actually makes an offer for the former No. 4 overall pick is a different story. Still somehow only 24 years old despite playing in his sixth season, Williams has been used almost exclusively as a reserve. His shooting numbers have plummeted (37.4 percent overall from the field) and there’s been no real growth in any are of Williams’ game.
“The three years and $54 million remaining on his contract is going to be tough to get rid of for Chicago, although it’s time both parties go their separate ways.”
Williams has not been living up to the hype throughout his career. He is averaging 9.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 blocks, and 0.8 steals across 341 games. However, it appears that a change of scenery would be best for both the Bulls and Williams. With the big contract, Chicago will likely need to take back a big contract or give away a pick in a move. It will be intriguing to see if Williams is moved during the offseason.
