On the day of the 2023 NBA Draft, there is a lot of speculation about things that could happen as far as picks and trades. The Chicago Bulls would like to be involved.

The big story involving the Portland Trail Blazers is the fact that people want Damian Lillard. That would certainly send some shockwaves across the league.

However, Adrian Wojnarowski went on The Pat McAfee Show and sort of shut down anything like that happening right now.

On the other side of things is the actual draft and the Blazers are involved in rumors surrounding that as well.

They have the number three pick and they could trade it to get Lillard some help (assuming they do try to keep him).

That could be where the Chicago Bulls come in. They can get that third overall pick in a trade package like this:

The Chicago Bulls could move Zach LaVine in a deal like this for a top pick.

The Chicago Bulls don’t really have all that many draft picks available so they need to get creative to send Portland a second-round pick in a deal like this.

Zach LaVine is the real kicker here. He has proven that he can be a number one at times but being a number two with Damian Lillard as the number one could go a long way.

You’d like to think that these two players would be very good together if they ever got the opportunity.

Dalen Terry is also a nice young player that the Bulls would probably like to have but he might need to be in a better situation as well.

Although he didn’t get much of a chance in Chicago, sometimes that happens when a rebuild is necessary. For the third overall pick, a deal like this might be smart.
