Chicago Bulls Receive: Russell Westbrook
Houston Rockets Receive: Zach LaVine, Otto Porter Jr., 2021 First-Round Pick
This trade sees the Bulls part with the younger LaVine as the headliner going back to Houston, in exchange for the proven Westbrook.
In order to match Westbrook’s hefty $41 million salary, the Bulls would have to pair the salaries of LaVine and Otto Porter Jr. heading back to Houston.
The Bulls also hold the No. 4 overall pick, but the Rockets don’t obtain that asset in this deal.
Let’s examine this deal from the perspective of each team.
