Trade 1 (Chi-Dal):

The Bulls receive AD, while the Mavericks receive the contracts of Z.Collins, P.Williams, J.Carter, and D.Terry +2frp (Portland 2026 lottery protect, Chicago 2027 unprotect). In this trade, Chicago bets on the now unpredictable AD, while Dallas cashes in after the disaster created by Nico Harrison.

Trade 2 (Chi-Hou):

The Bulls receive R.Sheppard and Capela, while the Rockets receive C.White. In this trade, Chicago seeks to get a good return on White's expiring contract, focusing on a young guard and an experienced center with a great contract, while Houston perfectly replaces the injured Vanvleet and strengthens its shooting department.

Chicago roster after the trade:

Bc: Giddey, T.Jones, Ayo, Sheppard and Huerter.

Fc: Buzelis, AD, Vucevic, Capela, Okoro, J.Smith, Essengue and Phillips.
