Sylvain Francisco, EuroLeague MVP runner-up and elite scorer, nearly joined the Chicago Bulls this offseason — but timing derailed everything. With a July 20 deadline to decide his future, he waited for LeBron James’ decision, only to see the King sign four days later, shutting the door on potential deals including a rumored two-year offer from Chicago. Despite strong stats (16 PPG, 6 APG) and prior ties to Bulls staff, the stalled trade and NBA’s wait-and-see approach cost him a shot at joining the rebuilding team. Now, as the Bulls explore global talent, Francisco’s near-miss highlights their willingness to look overseas — and fans are watching closely to see if they’ll keep hunting international gems.
