Bulls could be HUGE players in the summer of 2026, but PWill's deal holds them back some. He had a BAD year, but he's played well in the past and might be a good reclamation project for BRK
BRK has tons of cap space and needs high end talent

#11/PWill for #20/#27

BRK gets a 2nd top pick, and keeps the #26-they add 3 rookies

Bulls move back, lots of big guys should be around 20 (Wolf, Beringer, Sorber, Fleming-or someone drops)
Take BPA at #27

Bulls going into 2026 would have Giddey (let's say $30 million), Matas ($6 million), JSmith ($9), this year's 2 picks ($6?) and next year's top 10 pick ($6) and Phillips ($3)
White's cap hold would be around $20 million (or we deal him too for picks)-That's around $80 million for 8 roster spots. Let's say they hold Ayo's cap spot too
They'd have about $70 million in cap space to play with and a good looking young core of
Ayo
White
Giddey/Phillips
Matas
JSmith
#20/#27 this year, and a top 10 pick next year. Could be closer to $100 million in cap space if they traded White too, or just let him walk next summer

it takes more than this to eat williams' 72M guaranteed/should remove one of the BRK pick going to chicago

Maybe #26 is too much
At #20 they'll be a few good options. I might do it just to not see PWill dribble off his leg again for the Bulls

So the Bulls are going to throw away next season but not tanking so they end up with the same 39 wins, the 9th seed in the play in where they lose again and the same 12th pick waiting to cash in huge in the summer of 2026? And there's no chance that they clutch their phones in their hands staring at $70M and their calls to the primo FAs go straight to voicemail. Oh if they had only gotten Zion.

I get that you think management are fools because they never do anything close to what you come up with but unrealistic and totally out of character for the franchise or most others, just ain't happening.

I think I'll do this. Would love for the Nets to get another lotto pick
