Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal
Assuming the Bulls don’t shock the world, they should be completely open for business this summer.
Nobody should be off limits. Frankly, moving LaVine is likely to make the most sense. After all, he’ll have the most trade value of everyone on this roster.
With that in mind, this feels like a fair return. It’s highlighted by a trio of unprotected first-round picks. The fact that they’re coming from a team that’s still rebuilding like Indiana is a bonus.
Moreover, Smith is an interesting target for this team as well. He’s flashed potential at times in his NBA career, but he’s been mostly buried behind Myles Turner in Indiana.

He feels like a natural five, and the Bulls should have a vacancy at that spot next season.
Should the Pacers help them fill it?
