In a shocking turn of events, the Chicago Bulls have made Patrick Williams available on the trade market, just months after inking him to a five-year deal. According to sources close to the situation, the team is ready to part ways with the young forward, citing his disappointing performance this season.
Williams’ struggles have been well-documented, with the 22-year-old averaging a career-low 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. His shooting percentages have also taken a hit, with a 38% mark from the field and 36.4% from beyond the arc.
The Bulls’ front office had high hopes for Williams, envisioning him as a key building block for the franchise. However, with the departures of DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso, Williams was expected to take on a more prominent role. Unfortunately, his opportunity to shine has been met with disappointment, and the team is now looking to move on.
The Bulls are seeking a new direction and are willing to use Williams’ contract as a trade asset to improve their roster for the seasons ahead. Despite his current struggles, Williams still possesses serious potential, and Chicago may find a new home for him soon.
The question on everyone’s mind is: can Williams turn things around in a different location with a new team? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the Bulls are ready to move on from their young forward and explore new options.
