Bulls crawl into free agency taking care of own and inking Zach Collins

The Chicago Bulls secured Zach Collins with a two-year, $17 million extension but remained inactive in the first hours of free agency. They have $31 million in cap space and are linked to rumors involving Norman Powell and Max Strus, aiming to improve spacing and mentorship for their young roster. The team prioritizes long-term development over an immediate playoff push due to new draft lottery rules.
