Chicago Bulls Receive: F/C Anthony Davis, G Russell Westbrook, 2025 First-Round Pick (LAL), 2027 FIrst-Round Pick (LAL)

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Zach LaVine, C Nikola Vucevic, G Lonzo Ball

We saved the craziest proposal for last. No reason to clean your glasses: you did read that correctly.

Here, the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers make a massive, league-altering swap. In all likelihood, this only happens if LaVine forces his way to LA specifically. It can still be justified for both sides.

For the Bulls, this is a gamble. If the 29-year-old Davis could return to his previous form, they’re fleecing the Lakers. They get the best player in the trade, an expiring contract, and two first-round picks.

On the other hand, if Davis has established a new normal over the past two seasons, it’s the Bulls getting suckered. They’re getting the two worst players in the deal here. Trading LaVine, Ball, and Vooch for them and a couple of first-round picks will look horrifying in hindsight.

So, this deal depends on two things happening. It requires LaVine to tell the Bulls that he’ll only play for the Lakers, and then it requires that Bulls decision-makers are feeling dangerous on that particular day.

If those two conditions hold, this blockbuster involving the Bulls and Lakers could send shockwaves through the NBA watching world.
