New York Knicks Receive: Zach LaVine

Chicago Bulls Receive: Frank Ntilikina, Kevin Knox II, Reggie Bullock, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2021 1st Round Pick Swap (via LAC), 2024 1st Round Pick, 2021 2nd Round Pick (via CHA), 2023 2nd Round Pick (via DET)

The package would begin with Frank Ntilikina and Kevin Knox in exchange to send to the Chicago Bulls. They were both lottery picks of the New York Knicks that have not been able to get comfortable. They have already been labeled busts and that is a tough one to get rid of in New York.

The Bulls would also get plenty draft capital in exchange for Zach LaVine is worth some first-round picks which would come in handy for Chicago moving forward. Their young players would also get more opportunity to hopefully help their development.

Zach LaVine would have a chance to take this ascending Knicks team to the next level, which is something they have been waiting for. Meanwhile, the Bulls would be able to undergo an actual rebuild and start over with some solid draft picks to work with.

Let’s take a look and see how this trade centered around Zach LaVine would benefit both the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks.
