## Resource

The Bulls are plotting their future at center, eyeing Karl-Anthony Towns as a potential cornerstone when he hits free agency in 2028. With Nic Claxton likely departing by then, Towns could be the answer—if Chicago’s young core, especially Caleb Wilson, rises to the occasion. A max deal around $72M would be a huge financial gamble, but the upside is undeniable: a proven All-NBA scorer. The timing could work, with cap space and roster room opening up after Claxton’s exit, but signing a 33-year-old center comes with serious risk. The Bulls’ future hinges on becoming playoff contenders and Wilson’s breakout. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
