Making the Case: Chicago Bulls
Bradley Beal is the ultimate benefit of any trade that he is a part of. The Chicago Bulls have been super aggressive, and this is a chance to add one of the best scorers in the league.
Last season, Beal played 40 games this season and saw his scoring production drop to 23.1 points per game. This is a significant drop from when he was over 30 points per game over the previous two. Beal has struggled with injuries at times over the last three years.
There is a risk for the Bulls signing Zach LaVine to a long-term deal given his history of knee injuries and his current struggles with them. If he were to depart, Beal could be a prime replacement to be a co-star alongside DeMar DeRozan.
Some would argue that losing Ball would be catastrophic for a team with two elite scorers. They would be sacrificing defense and passing ability to get another scorer.

With that being said, Beal is as good as it gets offensively and is a big piece on any team. DeRozan is not a strong three-point shooter, and this is where Beal would step in and contribute.
The aggressive nature of the Bulls should continue, especially after a potential first-round exit and poor play down the stretch of the season.
