Bulls Land Powell for Smart Future | NBA News

The Chicago Bulls just pulled off a savvy move, signing veteran scorer Norman Powell to a two-year, $45M deal with a team option in Year 2. After leaving Miami amid roster changes, Powell brings elite scoring and shooting — averaging over 21 points last season — to complement their young core. This strategic signing, alongside Zach Collins’ similar deal, maximizes their cap space while prioritizing proven talent over risky youth gambles. Powell’s role? To elevate the development of wings like Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis, stabilize the team’s offense, and avoid the bottom-three finish — all while keeping future flexibility intact. It’s a calculated, long-term play that keeps the Bulls’ options open for next summer’s free agency window.
