Frequently Asked Questions
Why has Zach LaVine's trade value dropped so much this offseason?
The market has crushed LaVine's value due to the new CBA rules and recent trades showing stars being moved for less. Players like Jordan Poole required multiple picks attached to move his contract, while John Collins only netted Rudy Gay and a second-round pick.
What is the Bulls' biggest need heading into next season?
The Bulls need a true point guard to distribute the ball between their stars. With Lonzo Ball's career in jeopardy and the team confirming he won't be back next season, they lack someone to facilitate for LaVine, DeRozan, and Vucevic.
Why would the Warriors trade Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody for Alex Caruso?
If the Warriors bring back Draymond Green for one last championship run, they need players who can contribute immediately. Kuminga and Moody didn't make an impact in the playoffs, so trading them for a proven contributor like Caruso makes sense.
Is the 2024 Portland pick the Bulls own actually valuable?
No, the 2024 Portland pick is worth next to nothing because the Blazers are likely headed toward a complete rebuild, meaning it'll end up being a second-round pick rather than a valuable first-rounder.
Why would trading Zach LaVine for Zion Williamson help the Bulls escape purgatory?
This trade gives the Bulls two potential outcomes to escape mediocrity. A healthy Zion could lead to a deep playoff run, while an unhealthy Zion could help them tank for a high lottery pick since they own their 2024 first-round pick.
