3. Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls made some major changes to their roster in the last year and a half. They went all-in on trying to win with a core of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic. It is a group that certainly has a ceiling, but they will continue doing what they can to reshape the roster and be as competitive as possible.
Before injuries hit last season, they were atop the Eastern Conference standings. Getting Lonzo Ball healthy is imperative to them finding a high level of success, but to keep things afloat without him, they could use some more depth on the roster.
Bringing in a player such as Jae Crowder would certainly help. He has a ton of experience and would be a good veteran for Patrick Williams to learn from. Crowder can play either forward spot, providing Billy Donovan with maneuverability in the rotation as he can play alongside all of their go-to players.
The Suns could ask for Coby White and Javonte Green in return for Crowder and throw in some draft compensation as well should Chicago seek some. Their second unit production was underwhelming at times last season, and that duo would help improve it.

White would bolster the Chicago Bulls’ backcourt, adding some shot creation that they are desperate for. He can also play some minutes as the lead ball-handler. Green provides some of the toughness and versatility they would be losing moving on from Crowder.
