3 overly ambitious trades for the Chicago Bulls to land Rudy GobertRyan Heckmanon June 18, 2022 at 11:00 am

The Bulls potentially have a lot going on this summer. The biggest storyline is and will continue to be the future of free agent Zach LaVine. Although, recently, there have been multiple reports saying LaVine will re-sign with the Bulls.

Other than LaVine’s future, the Bulls are continuing to monitor the immediate future of Lonzo Ball’s health. His knee is becoming worrisome, and Ball is crucial to the future success of this team.

But, maybe the hottest story linked to Chicago right now is the case of Rudy Gobert.

The Chicago Bulls are definitely in play for a Rudy Gobert trade, but the Utah Jazz may be asking for the world in return.

The Utah Jazz will likely end up trading Gobert this offseason, after it appears his relationship with Donovan Mitchell cannot be repaired. Now, the Bulls have become one of the top potential destinations for the defensive-minded big man.

The crucial question now becomes, just what exactly will the Jazz want in return? We’re talking about a 3-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, and some reports state the Jazz will want ‘a haul’ for his services.

There is no doubt that the Bulls landing Gobert could completely change the face of the Eastern Conference. The man is a game-changing player.

But, if Utah wants a haul, should the Bulls be willing to give it up? They’re going to have to offer quite the package for the Jazz to make this happen, and one of these three packages would likely get it done. Now, the Bulls could be overpaying, but these three returns should be enough for Utah.
