"Per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, the 6-foot-7 Frenchman amended his deal to eliminate a $5.8 million player option he has for the 2026-27 season. He'll thus hit unrestricted free agency for a second consecutive summer, after thoroughly flaming out in New York. Could the 30-year-old revive his value by putting up decent counting stats in a decimated Bulls frontcourt rotation? Possibly."
"Johnson laid out Chicago's new roster after the dust had settled on all the team's various deals and Thursday's trade deadline had passed. So let's project the club's impending depth chart. This writer has made some predictive tweaks, too. Point Guard: Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, Rob Dillingham Shooting Guard: Jaden Ivey, Anfernee Simons, Collin Sexton Small Forward: Matas Buzelis, Isaac Okoro, Patrick Williams Power Forward: Jalen Smith, Guerschon Yabusele, Leonard Miller Center: Nick Richards, Zach Collins"
Guerschon Yabusele amended his contract to remove a $5.8 million player option for the 2026–27 season, making him an unrestricted free agent after this year. Yabusele struggled in New York and has received offers to return overseas, but he will remain with Chicago through the end of the season. The Bulls executed seven trades at the deadline, acquiring nine second-round picks and a second-round pick swap while overhauling the roster. Chicago's projected depth chart lists Yabusele as a power forward behind Jalen Smith and as Billy Donovan's primary backup center behind new acquisition Nick Richards, with Zach Collins sidelined.
