Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal 

By contrast, if we were the Bulls, we’d pull the trigger on this one today. 

Some may disagree. Nikola Vucevic may be the best player in this deal. Fair enough. On the other hand, he may not be the right player for these Bulls. 

We already mentioned Vucevic’s defensive limitations. They just happen to be especially pronounced on this Bulls squad. After all, DeRozan and LaVine are both ball-dominant superstars. Vucevic’s playmaking, realistically, isn’t enough to outweigh this team’s lack of rim protection relative to its needs. 

Hartenstein fixes those issues. He may not be one of the best rim protectors in the NBA, but he is above average. Furthermore, he can defend in space to some extent. Pair those skills with some surprisingly deft passing chops, and you’ve got a quality NBA player.

Moreover, a reunion with Derrick Rose isn’t merely intended to pull heartstrings. Granted, it will, but it will also give the Bulls the sixth man they’ve been hoping Coby White would become. All told, this could be a small step toward this organization’s former glory.
