At the same time with this possible trade package, the Chicago Bulls are giving up future draft capital but helping out their rebuild. Landing a solid player that could still grow in his role like shooting guard Donte DiVincenzo does nothing but move this Bulls team forward. Veteran power forward Ersan Ilyasova also offers a two-way stop gap with the Bulls current void in frontcourt depth.
Ilyasova would be a solid floor spacer that could take a lot of the offensive burden in the frontcourt off of Markkanen once he returns from his pelvic injury. He can have a positive impact on Markkanen the way that center Robin Lopez did in the past two seasons.
The Bulls wind up giving up a future second round draft pick along with fourth-year shooting guard Denzel Valentine to nab this trade haul.
This is the first of two trade packages on this list that involves sending the veteran power forward Thaddeus Young to the Bucks. His ability to space the floor and post up when needed is hard to find. This also gives the Bucks really the only known forward in the Eastern Conference that can defend Giannis.
If Young winds up landing with a team like the Los Angeles Lakers or Clippers at the trade deadline, then the Bucks and Giannis could be stifled in the NBA Finals later on down the road. That is something that the Bucks should try to avoid if they can control it.
Landing both Valentine and Young gives the Bucks a more than solid trade haul that also allows them to get off the future contract of Wilson. Combine those two factors together and it is worth giving up two solid players like Ilyasova and DiVincenzo.
