Why This Trade Would Benefit The Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls brought in Billy Donovan to be the head coach. This is just one move that will help the future. Plenty more should be on the horizon for the Bulls. There are many questions surrounding this team and it is unclear which direction they are heading. At the NBA trade deadline, they should just pull the trigger and be sellers.
This means finding potential trade partners for Zach LaVine, Lauri Markkanen, or both. The Bulls should look for a team that has many pieces to send. This is where the Knicks would be a match. Kevin Knox II and Frank Ntilikina are players that need a change of scenery.
They are not getting the chance anymore in New York that they need and that is not going to change. They both do certain things well but are not well-balanced players. Both Kevin Knox II and Frank Ntilikina could have a better chance to grow in New York. The draft capital would also go a long way for a rebuilding team.
The Bulls needs to find a way to get back near the top of the conference. They have a rich history of success and it is quite the opposite in the present day. This could be one of many moves that the team decides to make.
