Chicago Bulls: 3 best Wendell Carter Jr. trade destinations

The Chicago Bulls would have to be really enticed to make a trade deal for center Wendell Carter Jr., but it could happen with the right trade partner.

The pressure is already starting to mount on the Chicago Bulls new look front office regime to make the necessary changes to get this rebuild back on track heading into its fourth year. And the biggest reason why the pressure is building so fast is actually the lack of discussion and tangible changes that happened within this organization since all of the front office personnel changes were made.

Former Denver Nuggets general manager Arturas Karnisovas and ex-Philadelphia 76ers VP of player personnel Marc Eversley are taking over as the lead voices in the Bulls front office. But they haven’t done much to inspire confidence yet that the rebuild is going to find any more success in its fourth year compared to the last three.

It’s hard to look beyond head coach Jim Boylen still assuming his current position next season while this rebuild takes a tangible step forward. The Bulls definitely took a few steps back since Boylen took over as interim head coach in the midst of the 2018-19 regular season.

But a few particular players that could be impacted the most over the long haul if Boylen sticks around just for the 2020-21 season are center Wendell Carter Jr., shooting guard Zach LaVine, and power forward Lauri Markkanen.

According to a report from Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times from last week, there are other NBA scouts that are looking into trade possibilities for the Bulls two main big men too. That is interesting that includes WCJ along with Markkanen.

Here’s a look into the three best possible trade destinations if the Bulls were to try and trade WCJ this offseason.
