Why This Trade Benefits The Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls have been near the bottom of the Eastern Conference for years now. This forced them to make a change at head coach and Billy Donovan was selected as the next man for the job. There could be plenty of other changes on the move and it could be sending away either Lauri Markkanen or Zach LaVine.
The Bulls have added some talent in the draft over the years in the form of Coby White and Patrick Williams. They will be around for the long run and now it is up to the front office to decide which star, if either, they are going to keep.
If Zach LaVine is the one, then it would make sense to add another impact big. That is exactly what Karl-Anthony Towns is. He is now in his sixth season in the league. Towns is averaging 22.6 points and 11.7 rebounds over the course of his career. He is a 39.7% career three-point shooter as well.
Karl-Anthony Towns is a big man who can stretch the floor on the offensive end. Lauri Markannen is the same type of player but not on the same level. Towns could be that other star that the Bulls need to speed up the rebuilding process. It would not be a small return but Chicago would benefit greatly from teaming LaVine with Towns.
