Chicago and Utah trade up. Wizards get a bunch of draft capital.

"Realistic" 3-team trade at the top of the draft.

This trade only happens if Utah really likes AJ and Chicago wants to develop other fwds

Utah gets AJ, Chicago gets DP, Wizards choose either Caleb or Cam Boozer (Boozer best case scenario, especially if they trade AD).

Utah sends the 2nd ovr pick, Ace, Vince W (Cheap contract), Konchar (To get younger) a 1st, and 2 2nds for snub all-rookie Tre Johnson, Hardy and ofc AJ Dybantsa (1st ovr pick). Fair price to get their guy, a promising guard (who could be traded down the line), and a backup guard.

Wizards send the 1st ovr pick, Bilal, Tre Johnson, D'lo and Jaden Hardy for the 4th ovr pick, Ace, Vince W (Cheap guard), Tre Jones and Jalen Smith (Great role players who should be traded down the line), LAL's 2027 1st rounder, and 4 2nd's. That's a haul to trade down 3 spots, get the better rookie, 2 valuable role players and 5 picks (Only one being a 1st tho). Wizards would draft either Caleb or Cam and tbh that's a great case scenario, specially with Cam and Alex Sarr, with AD trying to leave, that's the front-court of the future fr.

Bulls get the next Kobe (DP) (2nd ovr pick), Bilal, D'lo and Chicago native Konchar for the 4th ovr pick, Jalen Smith, Tre Jones and 3 2nd rounders. I feel that Chicago should trade up to get DP, he's a generational talent that fits great in chicago. Chicago can prioritize the development other forwards in their roster (Matas, Essengue and Leonard Miller), Chicago would also draft a big man at 15th (Quaintance, Cenac or Steinbach). The trade is really good as they get the best player after AJ (debatable) without giving up a ton of assets.

D'lo and Hardy are interchangeable. It all depends on who Utah values more. Imo Hardy is better as he replaces Konchar's role while being a 39 3%, and a 20ppg player per 36 min. Or if they really like Konchar keep him and both Hardy and D'lo would get shipped to Chicago.

Also Wizards could ask for another 2nd rounder for Utah, I don't think they'd give up more than that.

Tbh Chicago is arguably the team that loses the most asset-wise but as a bulls' fan myself I think that this is a great trade as DP is worth it.
