1. Mike Scott
The need in the frontcourt can also be addressed with a name like Mike Scott. He has spent the last three years in Philadelphia and has improved his three-point shot since joining the Sixers. Now, he could bring it to the Chicago Bulls and add a new dynamic to the offensive end of the floor.
Is it crazy to say that Scott could be a replacement for Markkanen? He is a 36.2% shooter from three-point range in his career, which is on the same level as 36.6% from Markkanen.
Also, Markkanen never opened eyes as a rebounder, and Scott can fill that role as well. His rebounding percentage is around 17% in his career. Scott is not a starting forward that will come in and completely bolster the lineup, but he is a veteran option that is still playing at a high level.
On an inexpensive deal, Scott would bring a lot of versatility to the Bulls as a stretch four that fits into today’s NBA.

The Chicago Bulls do not have much cap room remaining, and it is unlikely that they will find that starting-caliber forward. If that is the case, Scott could be one of the next-best additions the team could make.
