Chicago Bulls: 3 players who could be traded this summer

The Chicago Bulls have seen some interest expressed in trading for one particular player recently. Could more than one guy be on the move?

Last season was an interesting one for the Chicago Bulls. Many thought they boasted the worst roster in all of basketball at one point, but they held a couple of short win streaks that proved they weren’t going to lie down and die in hopes of securing a top lottery pick.

On the other hand, a 7-game win streak in the same season as a 7-game losing streak will tend to confuse fans. Was the team opposed to tanking at one point, but then later decided to scrap that idea and go into full-fledged “tank mode?” I think that’s precisely what happened.

The Bulls are kind of a mystery at this point, because most would agree that they have no shot at any top-tier free agent, let alone any noteworthy free agent in general. Yet, recent reports have suggested that the Bulls could be bigger players than we all thought to begin with.

But, just how big of a player will the team be this summer? It seems as though there are so many different rumors going on right now that it is truly difficult to tell which direction they are headed in. On one hand, they could clear even more cap space by dealing a couple of guys who saw their playing time diminish in effort to support the tank. On the other hand, some rumors have suggested the Bulls are hearing of teams interested in one particular piece of their core group — will they listen?

I am genuinely curious to see where this franchise heads in the next month; whether or not they deal a player or two should be telling. In any event, based on some of the rumors going on over the last couple of months, here are three players who could realistically be dealt from the Windy City.
