Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal 

It is important to ask: if the Bulls send their top pick to the Magic, will the world come to an end?

This is not the case. Let’s say the Bulls make this trade, and all goes wrong for the season, and the Magic get the 7th overall pick in the process. Is there any point in crying over spilled milk? 

As a result, the Bulls will still have two of the most valuable first-round picks in the league, thanks to an aging contender. They shouldn’t let pride dictate their future.

This is a good trade for a team in the position that they are in – protected pick or not.

There’s no doubt the 2024 draft isn’t going to be a collection of slouches, and the Bulls may be able to move some more veterans, be the worst team in the NBA next year, and then rebuild from there on. 

After this deal has been completed, what does the future look like for the Lakers?
