San Antonio Spurs Receive: G Coby White, C Marko Simonovic, 2024 First-Round Pick (POR via CHI)
Chicago Bulls Receive: C Jakob Poeltl
In stark contrast to the San Antonio Spurs, the Chicago Bulls are in no position to trigger a rebuild.
They just re-signed Zach LaVine to a hefty contract. Meanwhile, DeMar DeRozan isn’t getting any younger, and Nikola Vucevic (more on him later) is on the books for big money.
They’re too deep in to back out. The Bulls need to be competitive in 2022-23. This summer, they should identify their needs and fill them to the best of their ability.
Young guards with offensive upside probably don’t make the cut.

Coby White could still make good on his potential at 22, but given their timeline, they may not want to wait around to find out.
Does Jakob Poeltl give them enough to improve next season?
