NBA season preview: 5 big questions for the Chicago Bulls
By John Hugar
The Chicago Bulls made a big splash in free agency. If they want it to translate to playoff success, they’ll need to answer these questions.
Few teams made more noise this offseason than the Chicago Bulls.

With that said, let’s look at the five biggest questions facing the Bulls as they enter the 2021-22 NBA season.
