Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal 

In stark contrast, the Bulls are interested in satisfying the conditions of a traditional NBA team here. 

After all, Lonzo Ball is out for an indefinite amount of the 2022-23 season. Realistically, he may not see the floor. If that holds true, this Bulls team badly needs a starting caliber point guard. 

VanVleet isn’t necessarily a perfect Ball replacement, but he doesn’t need to be. In fact, it would be fair to say that he’s a more dynamic offensive player. Moreover, he may be better with Nikola Vucevic than DeRozan. 

After all, DeRozan does a lot of things well on an NBA floor, but spacing it is not one of them. By contrast, VanVleet is one of the most reliable three-point shooters in the NBA. Having him on the floor could allow the Bulls to lean harder into Vucevic’s playmaking abilities.

Finally, Birch is a solid rotational big the Bulls can use when they need his defense more than Vooch’s offense. If everything clicks, the two could help the Bulls have a season their fans will remember fondly.
