3 trades for the Chicago Bulls to move up in 2022 NBA Draft
By Ryan Heckman
The Chicago Bulls could make a trade up with the San Antonio Spurs
One of the key players Bulls fans could desire to be moved this summer is guard Coby White. He has definitely had his spurts of excellent play, specifically coming off the bench. But, in the postseason, White was less than stellar and looked as though he didn’t belong.
Still, White is a former no. 7 overall pick and has plenty of time ahead of him in the league. His upside is still there, and a possible change of scenery could allow him to flourish more. If the Bulls wanted to try and include him in a deal, this is what it would look like.
In this scenario, the Bulls move up nine spots with the San Antonio Spurs, sending them White along with their no. 18 pick and a future second rounder. The Spurs are an interesting team to try and trade with this year, because they have three picks in the first round (no. 9, 20 and 25).
Still possessing two more picks in the first and obtaining White, moving back a bit and getting another pick in the future would be a fair return for San Antonio.
At no. 9, the Bulls could then be looking at getting someone like Wisconsin guard Johnny Davis or Memphis center Jalen Duran — who are both upgrades over the aforementioned Williams and Washington.
