Yet again, there are whispers coming about for Chris Paul’s status on the trade block. Should the Chicago Bulls look into his status with the Thunder?
The thought of the Chicago Bulls trying to make a big splash trade to land a star this offseason is intriguing, but unlikely to happen unless one appears on the block that is a perfect fit with this rebuilding roster. There’s not so much a positional need that the Bulls have that is as glaring as just adding a star to this roster. It is difficult to zero in on a star that could hit the trade block this offseason that would be within the sights of the Bulls.
A name that could potentially re-emerge amid trade discussions around the NBA in the near future is the Oklahoma City Thunder veteran star point guard Chris Paul. Getting ousted by the four-seed Houston Rockets in a thrilling seven-game series in the first round of the playoffs, Paul and the five-seed Thunder had some interesting conversation fluttering around over the weekend.
Other names that were mentioned amid various trade discussions with the Thunder after falling short in their playoff series against the Rockets were center Steven Adams and guard Dennis Schroder.

The report that Paul could be in the midst of some level of trade discussions by way of the Thunder right now came from “The Hoop Collective” podcast with ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, along with Royce Young and Bobby Marks. The team specifically mentioned where CP3 could land in this particular discussion was the Philadelphia 76ers. But this is something that the Bulls could hypothetically jump into too.
Here’s a look at three possible updated trades that the Bulls could offer the Thunder for CP3 this offseason.
