Chicago Bulls: 3 early crucial offseason trade targets to watch
Bradley Beal, SG
At this moment in time, it looks like the biggest potential trade target for the Bulls this offseason will be the three-time All-Star and stud shooting guard Bradley Beal. The Bulls seem to be at least looking into the possibility of what it would take to pull off a trade deal with the Wizards to land the star guard Beal in the summer.
If the Wizards are going to at least shop Beal around this summer on the trade block, there would likely be a lot more suitors than just the Bulls lining up to see what the asking price for him is. There were plenty of chances that the Wizards had to trade Beal in the past two or three years, but they have elected to keep him thus far.
A lot of the Beal trade decision for the Wizards this offseason could hinge on how they do in the postseason. The Wizards do have a solid backcourt star duo at the moment between point guard Russell Westbrook and the 27-year-old St. Louis, MO, native Beal. We’ll see how far those two can take the Wizards this postseason, as they just managed to get a spot in the play-in tournament for later this month.

It would also take the Bulls’ front office getting pretty creative in trade talks with the Wizards to actually pull off a deal to land Beal. Given all of the moves that Karnisovas and Eversley made at the trade deadline back on March 25, they don’t have all that many player assets or future draft capital to work with this offseason.
