On Feb. 10, the Chicago Bulls could be making some changes to the roster at the trade deadline that could change the course of a special season in the Windy City. The pressure will be on this week for executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley to make the right moves at the trade deadline to keep the Bulls headed in the right direction down the stretch this season.
There are a number of ways that Karnisovas and Eversley could plan out this trade deadline for the Bulls. Obviously, though, all of them are probably going to be looking at them from the point of view of a buyer.
The Bulls are in a group of top teams that could each present a good case to come out of the Eastern Conference this season. Karnisovas and Eversley built this Bulls team to have a rise to contender status like the Phoenix Suns did last season. If the Bulls can at least hit that benchmark, reaching the NBA Finals would actually be realistic for them this postseason.
Which trade deadline targets for the Chicago Bulls will be the most realistic on Feb. 10?
Yet, the closer and closer we get to the deadline, the more and more it feels like some of the bigger name trade targets for the Bulls are less likely for them to get. Instead, it is worth adjusting expectations to watch some of the more realistic trade targets could be for the Bulls at the deadline.
Here’s a look at three of the more realistic trade deadline targets for the Bulls to get on Feb. 10.
