from this article, two potential Bulls' trades plus one to add
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10117008-trade-ideas-to-replace-nbas-most-disappointing-startersThe first makes some sense, great to get the 2026 pick the 2 2nds this year are good for a team with no seconds forever. Getting Huerter puts him with White and Dosunmu in a good backcourt trio.
Carter is no loss and Caruso is expiring and one floor burn from a long term injury.
What this one requires is a second maybe third trade. Lavine has to go and they still don't have a PF so that's one and moving on from DeRozan could create space for that PF
The 2nd trade makes no sense following the 1st unless they get themselves in on the the 3rd
I would look to resign Andre Drummond with a raise that makes getting Mo Wagner to back him up look like a really good move. The problem is, why are you signing Makelle Fultz as a FA when he's going to be your 4th guard behind Coby, Ayo and the newly acquired Kevin? Don't know what kind of contract Fultz would require but that money could be better spent on the front line. Plus they either let DeRozan go for cap space or they get something in return for him, maybe a 2025 pick.
Which brings us to the 3rd trade in the article WASH and UT. Let's insert the Bulls in that one and send Nikola Vucevic to WASH who has the other Vukcevic at the 5, older Vuc gives them 2 years of solid unspectacular play while the younger Vuk grows into the NBA. WASH doesn't really want to add Collins to Kuzma, Bagley and Avidja.
White Dosunmu
Huerter Terry
Drummond Wagner Sanogo
Williams
Collins Craig Phillips
Yes the Bulls take John Collins, and have their PF. I read one UT fan saying that Collins isn't good at getting his own shot. well the Bulls play their best when they don't have guys getting their own shot. When they move the ball, get to the open shot, get those 28 assist that's when they win. They still have White and Dosunmu even Williams to drive to the basket, White and Huerter can get their own shot.
their 2024 pick, plus 2 2nds, 2- 2026 picks
