Trade Number 2 for the Chicago Bulls to land Kevin Durant

The second possible trade for Durant is very similar to the last one. It starts out with the Bulls sending Vucevic and White to Brooklyn. However, in this trade, the Bulls will also include a guy they have been reluctant to include in any trade rumors or talks this offseason.

The Nets get the Bulls’ best young piece in former no. 4 overall pick, Patrick Williams. The Bulls were at one point rumored to be in on Utah Jazz big man Rudy Gobert, but would not include Williams in any deal, according to reports. Now, if the Bulls are looking at possibly adding a guy of Durant’s caliber, then there can no longer be the hesitancy to trade a player like Williams.

He is likely the player who would push any deal over the hump in Brooklyn’s agreement. Williams is obviously chock full of potential as a two-way threat, able to guard multiple positions and has a much higher ceiling offensively, that he’s not even close to hitting just yet.

Along with those three players, the Bulls again give up a trio of first-round picks. This is a huge return for Brooklyn, but it is just a little short of the biggest package Chicago could offer.
