I don't believe Chicago will give up a 2021 first round pick to move up three spots, even with it being the first overall pick. Is the Brooklyn pick too little/much compensation?
Until someone else really erupts in pre-draft workouts, I think there is a three man tier at the top, based on their upsides. Unfortunately, people tend to over-value what they have, and under-value what they don’t. On these boards, you see Bulls fans talk about a four man first tier, and an occasional ATL fan saying the top 6 picks are worth the same. I could see the Bulls front office falling in love with the prospects that are likely available to them at #4, and undervaluing the #1 pick, so they may say no.
I think it’s fair value, but there is no guarantee CHI will be a bottom five team next year In the East (they were constantly injured), and even if they are, there is no guarantee they will win a top 4 spot on the lottery. If we truly don’t like any of the top 3 guys, then sure - great deal. However, I suspect this dislike of the top three comes more from fans trying to feel smart, rather than the actual front office, who’s jobs are often on the line to make the right pick.
