The Chicago Bulls are going to get put in a position on draft night this week where they can add more quality starters right away.
The week that a lot of basketball fans have waited for a long time has finally arrived. The week both of the 2020 NBA Draft, and the lifting of the trade moratorium and the start of this cycle of free agency is when teams can finally adjust their roster constructions to best suit them for the start of the 2020-21 season. In the case of the Chicago Bulls, most of the news coming out won’t be very tangle to shifts in the roster construction until draft night, set to take place on Nov. 18.
That’s when the bulk of the action could transpire for newly hired executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley. The Bulls have a number of ways they could look to rebuild the roster starting during the looming draft. And one way that the Bulls new front office regime is thinking about reordering this roster is with the addition of a veteran guard.
According to a report in the latest mock draft from ESPN’s Jonathan Givony (paid content), the Bulls are interested in looking into the possibilities of trading for a veteran guard this offseason. But a lot of the options are starting to run out for the Bulls if they want to land a veteran guard in the near future.
The likes of the former Oklahoma City Thunder veteran star point guard Chris Paul and the ex-New Orleans Pelicans two-way star floor general Jrue Holiday were already on the move this week. CP3 was traded from the Thunder to the Suns, and Holiday from the Pelicans to the Milwaukee Bucks.
But what other veteran guards are out there for the Bulls to pursue if they want to pull off this sort of trade?
