The Bulls had been communicating with rival teams a desire to reshape their roster, league sources told Yahoo Sports, and Artūras Karnišovas’ front office indeed struck a deal that brings the first player back to Chicago via trade in three years. Word of the Bulls’ interest in Giddey had filtered to opposing front offices throughout this past week. Although many executives from opposing teams believed that was a potential construct for a Patrick Williams sign-and-trade — the fourth-year forward is set to reach restricted free agency June 30, with OKC, Toronto and Charlotte already being mentioned by league personnel as possible landing spots for Williams outside of Chicago.

How good is Patrick Williams and what is he worth? I went deep on what his new contract should be and what I would do if I were the Bulls:

More on this storyline
If the Bulls have seen enough of the Patrick Williams experiment, one team that has great interest, a league source said, is Oklahoma City. The Thunder need more size, and they have an army of draft picks that can sweeten the pot for the Bulls if a sign-and-trade emerges in July. -via New York Times / June 4, 2024
KC Johnson: Artūras Karnišovas said the team hopes to re-sign Patrick Williams. Artūras Karnišovas didn’t bite much on a question on whether Billy Donovan’s staff would remain the same. Said conversations would occur on that in near future. -via Twitter @KCJHoop / April 20, 2024
KC Johnson: Lonzo Ball is in Chicago, per Donovan. Zach LaVine and Patrick Williams were scheduled to fly in this afternoon, per Donovan. -via Twitter @KCJHoop / April 1, 2024
