Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal
Firstly, a caveat. Vucevic is due for free agency this summer. This deal would be a sign and trade.
It would also be a gamble for the Bulls. Mo Bombs didn’t thrive in Orlando, and he isn’t thriving in Los Angeles either. By now, he’s racking up DNPs for the Lakers.
At the same time, his skillset fills a position of need in Chicago. In theory, this is a player who defends the rim and spaces the floor.
Surely Bamba can find a productive role somewhere. The Bulls should see if they can offer him one.

Meanwhile, Beasley should make this team better as well. This deal doesn’t have the Bulls blowing up their roster as many anticipate, but perhaps it helps them avoid needing to do so.
What does it do for the Lakers?
