Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal 

If the Bulls do this deal, they’ll be giving themselves options. 

They don’t have to blow it up. Herro isn’t so far from LaVine in terms of production. Given that they owe their upcoming pick to the Orlando Magic with top 4 protection, working to remain competitive will be preferable in the eyes of some. 

Others may disagree. The Bulls own their pick next year – if they chose to move DeRozan and Vucevic following this deal, the sky wouldn’t necessarily fall. 

After all, they’d have acquired the much younger Herro at the expense of LaVine.

Moreover, landing Miami’s pick in the upcoming draft means that even if their pick goes to Orlando, they’ll be bringing some young talent in. 

Should the Heat give them that opportunity?
