All of the attention in the Eastern Conference this NBA season has been cast on the Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers, but the Chicago Bulls have quietly built themselves into a championship contender rather quickly. 

Once the best dynasty in the league with the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and others, the Chicago Bulls have been rebuilding since they won their last championship in 1998. 

Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Joakim Noah and other great players have walked in the door for the Bulls through the years, but Chicago has not been to the NBA Finals since 1998 and they have reached the Eastern Conference Finals just once since then. 

This new era of Bulls basketball is looking very promising, especially since they have a well-balanced trio of All-Stars in DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine.

How far the Bulls go in the postseason is yet to be seen, but regardless of how their season ends, Chicago will be busy in the offseason, as Zach LaVine is set to become an unrestricted free agent. 

While he was eligible for a four-year, roughly $104 million extension this past offseason, LaVine decided to decline this offer from Chicago due to the fact that he could receive a five-year deal worth roughly $200 million with the Bulls following the 2022-23 season. 

Being an unrestricted free agent though, all the other 29 teams in the NBA will have a chance to pursue Zach LaVine once free agency begins.

Heading into the offseason, these are the three teams that should be keeping tabs on Zach LaVine and be “all-in” on pursuing him in free agency.
