2) Chicago Bulls draft targets to trade for: LaMelo Ball

Maybe one of the best overall prospects that could be available between picks two and four in the 2020 NBA Draft class is the former Illawarra Hawks NBL 6-foot-7 point guard LaMelo Ball. Multiple teams are likely to be after LaMelo in this draft, but the Bulls sit in a really advantageous spot if they want to get him to the Windy City.

If feels like the team that would be most likely to use their pick to leverage a trade with another squad for LaMelo would be the Golden State Warriors, sitting with the No. 2 slot in the lottery. The Warriors have a group that can still contend immediately to win an NBA Championship in the near future, and they don’t really need the No. 2 pick. Another team like the Bulls, New York Knicks, or Charlotte Hornets, might want to trade up to get Ball.

The Bulls are a team that could still use a potential star in the NBA like Ball. They would have to pair him possibly alongside the rookie former North Carolina Tar Heels guard Coby White, but that could be a backcourt that works well together. It’s hard to tell now how exactly a backcourt with either White or shooting guard Zach LaVine would pair with LaMelo.

Nonetheless, if it’s a move that doesn’t cost the Bulls all too much, then they should really ponder what it would take to get LaMelo. One thing that the Bulls could use use so than almost anything else is a star. White could still be a star in the making, but it’s way too early to tell how his career will play out with this team.
