On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) jumps on the mic to share his thoughts on a very quiet offseason for the Chicago Bulls.To date, the Bulls have done little in free agency -- they have brought back Denzel Valentine, let go of Kris Dunn and Shaquille Harrison, while only signing veteran guard Garrett Temple.On the show, Mark goes into detail why he's fine with the minimalistic approach taken, why Karnisovas waiting to assess the roster before making deals is the logical move, the lack of trade interest in Tomas Satoransky and Thad Young right now,  why the Bulls' big moves will come during the season and the next offseason period, and so much more.  Thanks to our partners Indeed and BetOnline.
