For the past two seasons, the Chicago Bulls have been rolling with their core of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic. Despite having 10 All-Star appearances between the three of them, the Bulls have only won a single playoff game.
Despite that, Chicago further committed to winning with them this summer. They re-signed vital pieces, including Vucevic, Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu, and they signed Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig in free agency.
However, some fans and media have questioned whether that was the right decision, given the Bulls lack of success with this core. To those folks, blowing up the roster would be the better option.
One mock trade concocted by Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report would see the Bulls do just that, ditching LaVine in exchange for a potentially-brighter future.
