The trade deadline is approaching fast this season and the Chicago Bulls could be one of the more active buyers if last season is any indication of what’s to come. While the Bulls likely won’t be able to be as willing of a buyer of star talent this season as they were last, there could still be some pieces put in place to try and elevate this team’s contender status.
We’ve talked about it over and over again. Second-year head coach Billy Donovan and the Bulls’ front office are likely going to try to find ways to continue to elevate this roster as the trade deadline approaches this season.
The plan for the Chicago Bulls a month ahead of the trade deadline
At this point, the trade deadline is just over one month away (Feb. 10 specifically). That means that any planned moves for the Bulls’ front office should likely be pretty well thought out as of now. The Bulls don’t have that much time until the trade deadline arrives.
Yet, it’s hard to tell exactly how active the front office will be at the trade deadline this season. It was pretty obvious last season that the Bulls were in heavy discussions to find ways to upgrade their roster. Those indications aren’t as obvious as to the direction the Bulls will go in at the trade deadline this year.
One way to start deciphering how busy the Bulls could realistically be at the trade deadline this season is piecing together the actual trade chips that could be on the move from this team. Here’s a look into three Bulls players that could most likely be shipped off at the deadline next month.
