Bulls' Caleb Wilson isn't enough to get them where they need to be in new projection

The Chicago Bulls have made significant changes in their front office, coaching staff and lineup, indicating their desire to return to past glories. However, reaching that point may take longer than some fans anticipate, according to Stephen Noh of The Sporting News. Noh ranks NBA teams for the 2029-30 season and places the Bulls at No. 20, reflecting a minor improvement.

While the Bulls could end up with a new roster centered around Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis by 2029, Noh believes the team won't be great but might become an exciting playoff contender. The most substantial changes are expected next summer when the Bulls will have over $50 million in cap space and draft picks. Despite these efforts, a Bulls championship does not appear to be in the cards for the immediate future.
