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 Oklahoma City Thunder
Another team that has multiple picks in the first this year, and is going to hold several first rounders for years to come, is the Oklahoma City Thunder. Sam Presti has never shied away from making a deal, so the Bulls could be in luck if they wanted to make something happen.
The pick in question, here, is the Thunder’s no. 12 overall selection. If the Bulls sent Oklahoma City a good role player, their no. 18 pick and a future second, they might be able to get something done here.
In this instance, the Bulls would deal fan favorite Javonte Green along with their no. 18 pick and a future second in exchange for the no. 12 pick overall. Green became beloved for his high-flying dunks that swung momentum many times for the Bulls. He’s also a solid defender and three-point shooter.
At pick no. 12, the Bulls could again be targeting someone like Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis if he fell to them. But, Chicago could also end up with another Big Ten guard in Ohio State’s Malaki Branham. Either one of these guys would be incredible additions to this roster and well-worth trading up for.
