Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal 

Barrett is a frustrating player. Let’s start there. At times, we see the do-it-all wing that was picked third in the NBA draft.

Barrett can get to the rim, defend, set up teammates, and even shoot a little. Sometimes. Other times, he looked broadly ineffective. 

Of course, that’s why the Bulls are getting compensated with draft picks here as well. They’re receiving two unprotected firsts.

One of them is deliberately distant – the Bulls will hope that the Knicks have fallen apart by 2028.

If Barrrett fulfills his potential with them, this will be a steal. If he doesn’t, it could look bad in hindsight. Still, given the team’s situation, that’s a gamble worth making. 

Should the Knicks help them make it?
