THE BULLS CAN SIGN LONZO, MIKE CONLEY, OR DENNIS SCHRODER. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT I GAVE CONLEY A $12M CONTRACT. THE BULLS CAN GIVE HIM $20M A YEAR IF THEY WANTED TOO.

EXCHANGE THE FIRST-ROUND PICKS WITH THE 2025 AND 2027 PICKS. THEY HAVE THE SAME PROTECTIONS.

I know it says it failed, but this would work in the off-season. The Bulls acquire a legit PF and playmaker alongside LaVine and Vucevic. As of right now, the Bulls are trying to win, the trade for Vucevic shows it. They want to give LaVine the playoff experience he has been dreaming of. Currently, the Bulls are decent but still need huge improvements. Siakam brings a championship mentality and allows the Bulls to have a legit 3rd option. The Bulls have been forcing Lauri to play SF, which he cannot do. Siakam however, is versatile enough to play the 3, 4, or 5. Which would allow the Bulls to run many interchangeable lineups, thus allowing them to be extremely difficult to defend in the playoffs. Mike Conley is a sleeper point guard IMO. Conley brings defense, playmaking, and shooting, which is much-needed on this team. He would allow Coby White and Zach Lavine to play more off-ball. Also, he would give Vucevic a nice P&R threat.

Starters Mike Conley - Zach LaVine - Patrick Williams - Pascal Siakam - Nikola Vucevic

Also, the Bulls would match up against the Nets pretty well. Mike Conley can defend Kyrie Irving. He won't stop Kyrie, but he will help contain him from exploding. Zach LaVine is actually one of the best at defending James Harden. While LaVine may have his defensive flaws, he looks like an all-NBA defender when defending Harden. Both Patrick Williams or Pascall Siakam can defend Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin. I'd put Patrick Williams on KD, and Siakam on Griffin. Vucevic would defend the rim.

The Raptors go down the rebuild road and have a nice young core. Malachi Flynn, Gary Trent Jr, OG Anunoby, and Lauri Markkanen and their abundance of picks/cap space would allow the Raptors to have a pretty nice future ahead of them.
