Chicago Bulls Receive: F Jerami Grant, G Rodney McGruder
Detroit Pistons Receive: F Patrick Williams, F Derrick Jones Jr., G Coby White
At this point, the Chicago Bulls might have to part ways with Patrick Williams in order to compete for a title this season. 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 raises some question regarding whether or not they will be actually be in a position to contend for a title. That’s the case for any team, though. Adding another difference-making talent could help to insult them.
Grant is a player who is on the same timeline as DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. This would give the Bulls three stars at the same point in their careers that could get together to win a title.
