Why The Trade Benefits The Bulls
Chicago used their first-round pick in 2019 on Coby White. He was viewed as their point guard of the future, but the team could have some decisions to make.
It seems as though they will not hold on to all players given the rumors throughout the offseason. If that is the case, it will be interesting to see which players they will part ways with.
If Chicago can receive two first-round picks for White, it is definitely something to think about. Also, they would be able to hang on to LaVine and Markannen. The big man has struggled with injuries in recent years, but LaVine has turned into one of the best scorers in the game.
LaVine has spent three years in Chicago and has improved during them all. Last season, LaVine played 60 games and averaged a career-high 25.5 points per contest. He is a valuable player that the team should hold onto.
Chicago has a new head coach in Billy Donovan. Like the Knicks, they seem to be heading in a new direction and could use it. They have some options for a trade with multiple draft picks if they decide to pull the trigger on this deal.
