3 Bulls players viewed as legitimate trade targets

Heading into the Christmas break for second-year head coach Billy Donovan and the Chicago Bulls, there is plenty of reason for optimism with this team after the first 29 games of the regular season. The Bulls are sporting a record of 19-10 after their first 29 games of the season. And that is counting the three games that were postponed due to COVID-19-related issues.

The three games that were postponed for the Bulls were set to come against the Detroit Pistons on Dec. 14, and then the Toronto Raptors on both Dec. 16 and 22. There were two separate games between the Bulls and Raptors that were postponed within the same week due to COVID-19-related issues for each team.

Nonetheless, the Bulls are looking good around the holiday season. This looks to be one of the top postseason contenders coming out of the Eastern Conference right now. If the Bulls can continue this wave of momentum in the first game coming out of the Christmas break, which is set for Dec. 26 at home at the United Center against the division foe Indiana Pacers, the confidence will keep building for this squad.

But there is still a sentiment that the front office has to add a piece or two for this team to really try and push to make it to the NBA Finals this season. There are still some improvements that could be made, but there aren’t all that many trade chips on the roster right now.

That won’t stop opposing teams from looking at some of the more valued Bulls players as trade chips this season, though. Here’s a look into three Bulls players viewed in the media and with other teams’ fan bases as legitimate trade targets this season.
