NBA Rumors: Bulls Lead Race for Lakers' Top Free Agent Target

The Chicago Bulls have emerged as potential contenders to sign forward Christian Wood, who was originally favored to join the Lakers. The Bulls recently acquired a $10.2 million player exception due to Lonzo Ball's injury, giving them the financial flexibility to pursue Wood. While Wood would likely come off the bench, he could challenge for the starting power forward role and provide a much-needed offensive boost for the Bulls. However, signing Wood would require the Bulls to dip into the luxury tax, and it remains to be seen if they are willing to make a big spending move.

"Colorado Avalanche: Strengthening Forward Depth and Evaluating Offseason Moves"

The Colorado Avalanche's coaching staff will need to prioritize developing and playing younger players and prospects due to the expensive contracts of their top players. The team may add another forward before the season starts, and the performance of Jonathan Drouin alongside Nathan MacKinnon will be closely watched. The status of Shane Bowers remains uncertain, and there are no plans for MacKinnon to wear the captain's "C" in Gabriel Landeskog's absence. Taylor Makar showed improvement but still has room to grow.
