Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal 

By contrast, the Bulls are particularly lacking in 3-and-D wings. When Patrick Williams went down with an injury, that held particularly true. 

As a result, they weren’t built to withstand Vucevic’s defensive limitations. The results were a 46-win season that saw the Bulls eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Surely, they’d like to do better next year. 

This deal could help them do so. Most significantly, Zubac’s interior defense ought to benefit them more than Vucevic’s offensive skills. After all, the offense here runs through Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan anyway. 

Moreover, Morris Sr. could be a valuable rotation player for this team as well. He’s a solid frontcourt defender and floor spacer. If nothing else, he’s an insurance policy for the oft-injured Williams.

In that sense, consider him a last line of defense.
