This Bulls-Warriors trade for No. 2 pick would shake up 2020 NBA Draft

Wendell Carter Jr., Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls, NBA Rumors

Chicago Bulls Receive: 2020 1st Round Pick (No. 2), Kevon Looney

Golden State Warriors: 2020 1st Round Pick (No. 4), Wendell Carter Jr.

The logistics for this particular trade package would be quite simple. The Golden State Warriors would upgrade at the center position with Wendell Carter Jr. by opting to execute a trade down two spots from No. 2 in the 2020 NBA Draft order.

Carter Jr. is still on his rookie contract and is set to earn $5.45 million in salary for the upcoming NBA season. His contract expires in 2022 when he would become a restricted free agent— commanding a $20.76 cap hold when he reaches the open market.

Meanwhile, Kevon Looney is set to earn $4.8 million during the next NBA season and has a $5.18 million final-year player-option in 2021-22. The salary would be simple to match for that reason.

Let’s take a look at the rationale for the Chicago Bulls and Golden State Warriors in this particular trade scenario.
