This possible trade proposal between the Chicago Bulls and the Bucks is the simplest of the three on the list. All it involves is the Bulls sending second-year former Boise State Broncos small forward Chandler Hutchison to the Bucks for a return of the former top five overall pick and seven-footer Dragan Bender.
A very low-risk move for both teams, the Bucks can really come out on top while the Bulls get frontcourt and floor spacing help. The Bulls don’t have to worry about the development of Hutch and his injury history anymore. The Bucks also get some wing help that can add value on both ends of the floor.
Hutch played well in the Bulls one-point win over the Spurs on Monday night. He’s playing better this season than he did last, but still having trouble staying healthy. Hutch has already dealt with a trio of injuries this season, and he was a four-year player at Boise State. The progression of Hutch might be limited at this point.
The Bucks do get welcomed wing help with Hutch, and they don’t give up much value in Bender. But Bender is shooting well over 40 percent from beyond the arc in limited playing time this season. Bender is averaging 3.7 points per game, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists while shooting 47.6 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from three-point land.
Those shooting numbers could definitely help out the Bulls at the forward position.
