Chicago Bulls: 4 slow period trade package ideas

The Chicago Bulls have around one month remaining before the start of the upcoming regular season to round out the final roster.

The dead period of the NBA offseason officially arrived with the beginning of the month of August. AAU, college basketball, the playoffs, and free agency are all in the rear view mirror. The FIBA World Cup is still slightly less than a week away from starting. And this year’s FIBA World Cup United States team isn’t as good as it was anticipated to be. Where does this leave the Chicago Bulls ahead of Training Camp and the preseason?

If John Paxson and Gar Forman have their minds in the right place to make a move on the trade market during the remainder of the offseason, there’s a growing list of needs they could try and tackle. The Bulls are in a position where they need to add one or two more pieces to the roster to truly insert themselves into the thick of the playoff conversation in the Eastern Conference.

But the signing of former Vegas Summer League Chicago Bulls wing Justin Simon to an Exhibit 10 deal does close out one of the deeper needs for the G-League affiliate Windy City Bulls. Simon could be a project of sorts for the Bulls and head coach Jim Boylen if he gets the call to the big league squad this coming season.

How does everything stack up for this Bulls roster ahead of the start of Training Camp later this month?

Here’s a look into four definitive trade package ideas that could be ideal for the Chicago Bulls as we are in the midst of the slowest period of the NBA offseason.
