The 2017–18 Chicago Bulls season will be the 52nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). For the first time since 2011, All-Star Jimmy Butler will not be on the roster as he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the off-season.

Draft picks

Round Pick Player Position Nationality College
1 7 Markkanen, LauriLauri Markkanen PF/C  Finland Arizona

Entering draft night, the Bulls entered the draft with picks 16 and 38, with the latter pick being acquired via a previous trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Exiting draft night, however, they left with only one draft pick that wasn't even originally theirs to begin with! First, they traded away their All-Star small forward Jimmy Butler and their #16 pick (which became redshirted freshman center Justin Patton from Creighton University) out to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Zach Lavine, Kris Dunn, and the Timberwolves' #7 pick in the draft, which became the Finnish freshman center/power forward Lauri Markkanen from the University of Arizona. As for their own second round selection they got from Cleveland, the Bulls would trade away that pick (which was junior power forward Jordan Bell from the University of Oregon) to the defending champion Golden State Warriors in exchange for $3.5 million.
