Joakim Noah saw an abrupt end to his season after going down with a dislocated shoulder.
It was an aggravation of an injury from December, and now the Bulls' veteran forward finds himself in sort of a bind as his future seems a bit murky, per Bleacher Report.
While his preference is to remain in Chicago, all that could depend on the personnel situation the team will have at the end of the season.
Coach Fred Hoiberg claims Noah remains a vital cog for the Bulls, but his playing time this season begs to differ. That, plus the emergence of Bobby Portis, has made Noah dispensable, per The Chicago Sun-Times.
Noah finds himself in a trick situation, as he becomes an unrestricted free agent after this season, meaning there could be teams interested in hooking him up. But his injury could become a bargaining point, even for the Bulls. Just the same, everyone knows what Noah brings -- energy and a lot of toughness for teams seeking more character for their front court.
With that in mind, who could possibly make a serious run at Noah in the offseason? Here are some of the teams that could consider the 30-year-old center if the Bulls opt to go to a different (and presumably) younger direction.
