Chicago Bulls Receive: F Jerami Grant
Detroit Pistons Receive: F Patrick Williams, F Derrick Jones Jr.
This is pure speculation but this deal might have been done already if the Chicago Bulls were not stuck on one detail. Chicago has been trying to find ways to acquire Grant without having to give up Patrick Williams.
At this point, they might have to part ways with their youngster in order to compete for a title. That may need to be a hard choice made closer to the deadline, but one that would be necessary to get a deal done.
The Bulls are banged up and this includes Williams, who is recovering from wrist surgery. They like what they have seen from Williams and want to hang onto him moving forward.
At the moment, the health of the Bulls makes some question whether or not they will be a title contender at the end. On the other hand, how long can the Bulls wait to be legitimate?

Grant is a player who is on the same timeline as DeRozan and LaVine. This would give the Bulls three stars at the same point in their careers that could get together to win a title. This should be the ultimate goal. If they have to part ways with Williams and Derrick Jones Jr, it seems worth it for a win-now team.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this trade would benefit both sides right away.
