Williams is averaging career lows in his fifth year with Chicago — somewhat unexpected after he signed a five-year, $90 million extension.

Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan's blunt take on Patrick Williams isn't sitting well with frustrated fans.

In another dud of a performance in a season full of underwhelming play, Chicago forward Patrick Williams scored just two points and shot 1-of-9 in the Bulls’ 109-97 loss to the 76ers on Saturday evening at the United Center.

The Chicago Bulls are now open to trading forward Patrick Williams, but whether he'll have any suitors is another question.

With the trade deadline approaching, it’s a safe bet that the Chicago Bulls are going to be major players. With their superstars on the trading block, it might be only a matter of time before the Bulls can finally press the rebuild button,

A source told the Sun-Times the Bulls' front office is more than open to trading Williams if the situation presents itself. The issue, however, is the organization signed him to a five-year, $90 million extension last summer.

This three-team trade proposal would see the Chicago Bulls find an upgrade over Patrick Williams at power forward and more.

We don't have a great enough margin,” coach Billy Donovan said. “Most teams don't turn the ball over 20 times and give up 25 points off turnovers. It's just too much, and some of it is just careless.”

Even amid another losing season for the Chicago Bulls, the wing often fades out of focus by the final buzzer. Williams often struggles to score in double digits, gets outrebounded by guards, never leads the team in any meaningful statistic. Night in and night out, his minutes on the court only stir up increasingly frantic questions.

The Chicago Bulls lost to the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers 109-97 on Saturday night for their eighth defeat in 10 games. They fell to 8-16 at the United Center this season.
