Report: Bulls to have interest in Mo Bamba, Isaiah Hartenstein

As the free agency negotiation period begins tomorrow in the NBA, the Chicago Bulls have some decisions to make.

First and foremost, the resigning of two-time All-Star Zach LaVine will make or break Chicago’s offseason.

Second, if a big trade isn’t in the cards for Vice President of Basketball Operations Artunas Karnisovas, look for the Bulls to add some much needed front court depth and rim protection behind Nikola Vucevic.

Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer reported on Wednesday that the Bulls have interest in two big man free agents, Magic center Mo Bamba and Clippers center Isaiah Hartenstein.

For Mo Bamba, the Magic are expected to let Bamba test the unrestricted waters, per Khobi Price of Orlando Sentinel. The fifth-year big man out of the Univeristy of Texas would provide a versatile body on both ends of the floor, who can stretch out to the perimeter, hitting 38% from downtown, and protect the rim on the defensive end.

For Hartenstein, as Fischer noted, the likely addition of John Wall to the Clippers will eat up their taxpayer mid-level, but as Marc Stein reported on Wednesday, the Orlando Magic has emerged as the favorite to sign Hartenstein, confirming Bamba’s availability on the free market.
