Why the Trade Benefits the Chicago Bulls
The Bulls are a team that is entering a rebuilding phase. Players like Zach LaVine and Lauri Markannen could be on the move for big returns. This would get the roster on the right track in becoming younger. This could also be done with a player like Young.
Chicago used the fourth-overall pick on Patrick Williams out of Florida State. He will join Coby White as the future in Chicago. With Billy Donovan now on the sideline as head coach, the Bulls are going to make some changes to the roster.
Prince is a player who could serve as a placeholder for the team until they make another move. They would also get some draft capital in the deal. This is a chance to flip picks in another deal or use them when the time comes.
The Bulls have a lot of work to do if they want to become relevant once again in the Eastern Conference. It will be interesting to see what the team does moving forward.
