This offseason is setting up to be an interesting one for the Chicago Bulls. The Ping-Pong balls didn’t fall their way at the NBA Draft Lottery, and their second-rounder was stripped of them because they broke tampering rules when signing Lonzo Ball. That means they have zero picks in the 2023 NBA Draft, but they’re still getting involved in the festivities.
A recent report from KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago revealed that the Bulls met with some high-profile draft prospects after the lottery results came through. They could simply be doing their due diligence, but there’s always a chance they trade into the draft. And considering they interviewed Alabama’s Brandon Miller, a projected top-three pick, rumblings of a potential trade with the Portland Trail Blazers have kickstarted.
Portland has been rumored to be shopping the third-overall pick, and if Chicago made a move to land in that spot, drafting Miller would be a real possibility. After his meeting with Chicago, Miller had some nice things to say about the Bulls.
