Chicago Bulls point guard targets that are bigger stars than Lonzo Ball: Damian Lillard
Being able to trade for someone like the Portland Trail Blazers superstar point guard Damian Lillard or Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks sounds great in theory. The tough part is quite obviously actually making that happen. Karnisovas and the Bulls would have to go beyond all out to make something like this happen.
Any part of the future that the Bulls still hold in store in terms of player assets and future draft capital would have to be sold off if they wanted to land a true superstar of this caliber.
Lillard is not likely to leave Portland when it’s all said and done this offseason, but there is going to be some change on the horizon for the Blazers. It seems like standout shooting guard CJ McCollum is more likely to be on the move than Lillard. Either would be worth looking into for the Bulls this summer, though.
It was the coaching change and ongoing frustrations with the organizations that caused the whispers to happen around the Lillard trade discussion in the first place. If there is any chance that he is available, clearly the Bulls should be hitting the phones to get in trade talks with the Blazers.
It would be really hard to pass up the opportunity for the Bulls to build an immediate title contender, no matter what the cost, if they could land Dame. He should be worth most asking prices for the Bulls if that is possible this summer.
