As the Chicago Bulls embark on a telling offseason, their decision-making will reveal the true direction of the franchise. After two years of middling success and plenty of disappointment, they find themselves at a crossroads. On the one hand, they could keep the team intact and move toward improvement; on the other, they could tear down the roster and start from scratch.
Arturas Karnisoavs seems intent on following the latter of the two paths. He’s been clear about his desire to compete with the current core. In turn, it’s more likely that the Bulls make trades to bolster their roster rather than trade their stars for picks and young assets. But that’s not exactly what Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley’s latest article suggests.
In his latest mock trade, Buckley has the Bulls making a serious splash, trading Zach LaVine, but not for a haul of draft assets. Instead, he thinks they could land Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro.
