Episode Details

The Chicago Bulls are stuck with a costly, guaranteed five-year, $90 million contract for Patrick Williams — widely panned as one of the worst deals in the league. Signed by the old front office, it’s now a thorn in the side of the rebuild, especially as Williams hasn’t shown signs of breaking out despite consistent play. With rising young forwards like Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis, his long-term role is murky unless he dramatically improves — particularly as a shooter and defender. Trading him would require sacrificing draft assets, which clashes with their rebuilding goals. For now, Williams stays in Chicago, either contributing or occupying cap space — a painful reminder of how risky big contracts can be when drafting and free agency don’t align.
