First Trade: Orlando upgrades its starting guards. Orlando's biggest weakness is its starting SG. Lavine is a bucket getter and one of the best catch and shoot guys in the game. He'll be surrounded by excellent defenders which makes him a perfect fit in Orlando's starting lineup. Giddey and Horton-Tucker provides proven depth pieces for an Orlando team that is built for a championship run. The move would push pope to the bench when a healthy Banchero returns. The Bulls get a young guard with two way potential in Black for their youth movement push, take a chance on an injury risky player in Isaac and what will essentially be two low first round picks in this years draft. They save cap space by declining both Harris and Houston final year option. This will save them nearly 20 million in cap space next year since Isaacs salary drops to 15 mil.
Second Trade: Vucevic is playing outstanding this year and Lakers add him for the some girth needed to compete in the west. Bulls get some future salary cap space and another young player to develop with its core young players
Bulls Roster: C-Jonathan Isaacs, Jalen Smith PF-Patrick Williams, Julian Phillips SF-Matas Buzelis, Dalton Knect, Caleb Houstan SG-Coby White, Dalen Terry, D'Angelo Russell PG-Ayo Dosunmu, Anthony Black, Lonzo Ball
Bulls buyout Gary Harris Bulls hold onto both Lonzo Ball and D'Angelo Russell to try and trade them individually or let their contracts expire to save money.
