3. Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls decided to buy at the trade deadline and it showed their quest to win right away. After taking a step forward in the Eastern Conference, the Bulls still came up short of the postseason. This is what they are looking to avoid in the upcoming years. A veteran point guard like Mike Conley would bring a lot to a talented team looking to win.
Chicago features one of the best scorers in the league in Zach LaVine. Instead of featuring the likes of LaVine and Lauri Markkanen in trade talks at the deadline, the Bulls decided to hang onto them and go after another big name.
Nikola Vucevic was acquired and the Bulls showed off their plan. An offseason priority has been rumored to be a point guard. They have been linked to many names and Conley would be one that fits right away.
He would bring leadership and experience to a locker room looking to get back to winning. Billy Donovan has some pieces to work with and the front office could get him a few more this offseason.

Chicago is hoping to complete the rebuild and move into win-now mode. In a weak Eastern Conference, the Bulls will have a chance to compete for a playoff spot next season and Conley would solidify that notion.
