The Chicago Bulls have plenty of needs and plenty of cap space.
That brings about the NBA's 2026 free agency, which also feels a lot like trade season. It's going to be crucial for the Bulls to get their upcoming moves right.
There are a lot of fascinating players available as free agents, and this league is just one request away from another blockbuster trade.
The Bulls have finally committed to building up from the ground floor rather than settling for the play-in tournament. To make it all rise in the right way, each maneuver to come will matter.
Below, we'll keep track of all the action in NBA free agency for the Bulls.

10 p.m.: Nothing has arrived yet on the first night of free agency. It's been pretty slow around the league.
6:30 p.m.: The Bulls have waived Kam Jones rather than pay his fully guaranteed salary. They acquired him in a draft-night trade, but this was always likely the plan.
