Chicago Bulls: Potential Draft Day trades with lottery teams
By Ryan Heckman
Trade no. 4: Go up and get Darius Garland
The last, and probably most intriguing deal of the bunch, features the team directly ahead of the Bulls in this year’s draft. The Phoenix Suns found themselves at no. 6 on Lottery night, and already there have been rumors of the team making a promise to Darius Garland. If the Bulls are in love with Garland, they can’t let the Suns land him.
Both the Bulls and Suns have a point guard problem, and Suns fans have long been waiting for the fix. But, if the Bulls take their shot and offer both their picks from this year, maybe Phoenix settles for White while the Bulls nab Garland.
The Bulls’ second-round pick is early enough in the round that the Suns may be enticed. If Chicago had to throw in Kris Dunn with the deal to offer them yet another option at the position, then so be it. I don’t think Chicago would miss him.
