Chicago Bulls Receive: G Markelle Fultz, F/C Jonathan Isaac, 2023 First-Round Pick (CHI via ORL), 2025 First-Round Pick (ORL)
Orlando Magic Receive: G Zach LaVine
Of course, the team trading the picks has to be confident. By contrast, the team receiving them is usually heading for uncertainty.
That’s true on a number of levels. Typically, they’re heading for a rebuild. Nothing is ever certain in that situation. Even lottery picks won’t necessarily pan out.
On the other hand, they’re not certain about the value of the picks they’re receiving. If the team moving them is justified in their confidence, they may not have much value at all.
For example, suppose the Bulls had really clicked. The Magic might be receiving the 20th to 25th pick in the upcoming draft. Of course, that’s not how it happened.

Now, Orlando is just hoping that the pick lands outside of the top-4.
Unless they send it back to Chicago, that is.
