Why the Trade Benefits the Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls have been stuck in a state of mediocrity for years now. They need to make a move to shake things up and add a superstar who could lead their team. Paul George has proven to be able to do that in the Eastern Conference during his time with the Indiana Pacers.
George is a score-first player. He is best with the ball in his hands on the offensive end while being capable of thriving in off-ball actions. He also contributes a lot to the defensive side of the ball. The Bulls flat out lack a talent that can get it done like him.
Zubac has shown great signs when he is on the floor and would serve as an intriguing replacement after trading Wendell Carter. These two players alone would provide a proven core for the Bulls moving forward.
The question remains, will the Bulls want to give up so much draft capital? Perhaps there is some room for negotiation in that aspect. That is unknown and will certainly be the X-Factor given the Los Angeles Clippers’ current situation.
