DeMar DeRozan - provides scoring, playmaking, and veteran experience, can be let go if didn't pan out
Nikola Vucevic - provides paint scoring, outside shooting, and veteran experience
Alex Caruso - provides defense, hustle, experience, and playmaking from the bench
Andrew Wiggins - may return to peak form after a change of scenery and going back to being a starter
Cole Anthony - gets a chance to start and a green light to lead as Coby White is more fit as an SG.
Wendell Carter Jr. - great defender when healthy and can shoot, goes back to starting, may get less pressure and better load management in a rebuilding team
Jonathan Isaac - great defender when healthy, may get less pressure and better laod management in a rebuilding team
Gary Harris - expiring contract
Markelle Fultz - expiring contract
Bulls get quite a pick haul for buying a fat bag of risk for their rebuild.
Zach LaVine - all-star level scoring and shooting that the Magic needs, may be woken up again if in a contending team
Chris Paul - highly skilled and experienced leader ideal for a young talented contender, this may be his last chance for a ring
