Trade up, trade back, trade out: 3 Possible draft moves for the Bulls
The Chicago Bulls landed the 11th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, which gives them a lot of options.
They could just use the pick, grab an upside talent or a player who may be able to help them right away.
They could also use the 11th pick in a trade, possibly in a package for a more proven player if they should decide to keep DeMar DeRozan and are still in win now mode.

The Bulls could also use the pick to trade up, trade back or even trade out of the draft altogether. Let’s start with the least likely option.

Teams to watch: Heat, Lakers, Magic
Given that this draft is considered fairly weak with a flat tier of talent in the first round, there might not be many teams looking to move up, which makes this an unlikely option.
But depending on who falls to that spot, teams like the Heat, Lakers or Magic could be willing to send the Bulls an asset to move up and take a player (Dalton Knecht for example) who could help them right away.
Orlando is one to watch, as they have a number of young big men who could help the Bulls and are desperate to add shooting. Moritz Wagner is an interesting option here and might be worth moving back seven spots to get.
