Chicago Bulls roster transition and outlook

Overview

The Chicago Bulls are undergoing a roster transition ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season under new head coach Tiago Splitter.

Veteran guard Norman Powell, who signed a two-year, $44 million contract, described the team as having high variance, noting, “We have the potential to be really good. But we also have the potential to be really bad.” Powell expressed a goal to instill a competitive mentality in a roster focused on youth development, specifically regarding the No. 4 overall draft pick, Caleb Wilson.

Following further roster adjustments, including the trade acquisition of Nic Claxton from the Brooklyn Nets, guard Josh Giddey expressed confidence in the team’s ability to compete for an Eastern Conference playoff spot. Giddey highlighted the combination of experienced veterans and young players, such as Wilson and Matas Buzelis, as a key factor in the team’s strategy.
