Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal 

On the other hand, the Bulls don’t have any draft picks to maximize. They owe their selection to the Orlando Magic – with top 4 protection, that is. 

If they want to attempt to bottom out and retain their pick, the time is now. The Bulls have been bad, but they’re far behind the league’s worst team if the object is to lose. 

Moving LaVine ought to help them do so. Of course, even the worst team in the NBA isn’t assured of a top 4 pick. The Bulls can’t afford to move LaVine strictly to bottom out. 

Luckily, that’s not what they’re doing here. If the Bulls were open to trading LaVine, three unprotected first-round picks is a good return.
