Chicago should easily leverage their cap space to their advantage
Bulls get: Braun (bad contract) Poeltl (bad contract)
8 in the draft via ATL
26 via DEN
2027 frp via TOR 2029 FRP via TOR 2032 FRP via LAL
Hawks get: Tre Jones (great backup PG) iykyk
15
2 srps (solid value imo for moving back 7 spots)
Nuggets get: Jarred Vanderbilt Issac Okoro (expiring) Jalen Smith (expiring) 2032 SRP via LAL Free up 20 mil in cap space
Lakers get: Aaron Gordon
Raptors get: Rob Dillingham 2027 SRP via DEN (from Chicago) 20 mil in cap space (off the awful Poeltl contract)
both the Poeltl and Braun contracts are awful and would require moving multiple frps to get off of
Draft:
4 Caleb Wilson
8 Kingston Flemings
26 Meleek Thomas
38 Tarris Reed jr
(some guys could rise or fall but im basing this off of consensus mock drafts or where they will likely be drafted)
FA- There is other moves to be made regarding cap space and acquiring picks, but ill assume their big FA move is bringing back Sexton
Rotation: Giddey Sexton Buzelis Wilson Poeltl
Bench: Flemings Braun Thomas Miller/Essengue Reed
