Trade Number 2: The Chicago Bulls get two key rotational players for Zach LaVine

The second trade that could see LaVine land in Dallas involves the Bulls getting a pair of players and a pick in return. This type of deal isn’t as good as the previous one where the Bulls land a prominent player, but here we see the Bulls get a couple of great depth pieces.

First, the Bulls would get veteran swing man Reggie Bullock. The journeyman has spent time with several years over his nine seasons in the league. Bullock provides decent three-point shooting and an average defensive presence, which the Bulls could use coming off their bench.

Second, the Bulls get big man Dwight Powell. The 30-year-old can play either forward or center if called upon and is more of a traditional post scorer. Although, he has added the three ball to his arsenal and shoots it at a 35 percent clip as of last season.

Initially, the Bulls would end up starting Alex Caruso in LaVine’s place with Bullock, Powell, Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White being their primary guys off the bench. That’s also before the Bulls sign anybody in free agency. Of course, that first-round pick is the big part of this deal.
