An NBA insider argues the Chicago Bulls should chase Luguentz Dort on a massive next-summer deal, even if Chicago must renounce Dort’s current team option first. Dort’s mix of lockdown perimeter defense and rising shooting makes him a coveted two-way swingman, and his impending free agency would draw a crowded market. The Thunder face decisions with Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren looming on big extensions, which could influence Dort’s future and Chicago’s bid.

The piece notes Chicago’s guard-heavy, defense-light roster and questions whether Dort would align with an aimless Bulls, despite his All-Defensive pedigree and 3-point-volume. If Sam Presti’s finances force Dort out, Chicago would pounce; if not, Dort’s market could still outpace any offer Chicago can assemble, complicating the free-agent chase for next summer.
