Chicago Bulls: Trading Nikola Vucevic for Mitchell Robinson
The Bulls would essentially be swapping Vucevic for Mitchell Robinson, which makes sense on paper, but would be a risk.
Robinson has had trouble staying healthy and has only played 90 games total in the last two seasons combined.
When he is healthy, he is one of the better rim protectors in the league, who gives the Bulls a more athletic option who can run the floor, catch lobs and block shots, which is something they need.
The Bulls would also recoup some draft assets, though they are just second rounders, while also saving around $15 million in cap space that they could use to upgrade other spots.
Giving up the best player in a deal is never easy, but the Bulls would potentially be getting a better fit along with some much-needed draft assets and cap space.
The Knicks get their cap space, the Pistons get a floor-spreading center who is not on a long-term deal and the Bulls get a rim protector, cap space and a few picks.
Could this deal work for all three teams? Who walks away?
