The Chicago Bulls made an interesting move on Wednesday, signing 2026 NBA All-Star guard Norman Powell from the conference rival Miami Heat.

This move comes after the Bulls also traded for Nicolas Claxton from the Brooklyn Nets and selected former North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson at No. 4 overall in the 2026 NBA Draft. Following these few moves, the Bulls are beginning to develop a new look under first-year executive Bryson Graham.
