3 trades for the Chicago Bulls to move up in 2022 NBA DraftRyan Heckmanon May 27, 2022 at 11:00 am

Last year, the Bulls were without a first rounder due to the Nikola Vucevic trade. But, they were still able to come away with a steal in the second round after snagging Ayo Dosunmu, who went on to make All NBA Rookie honors.

Now, Chicago will pick no. 18 overall in this year’s draft in hopes to add another talented player to this playoff roster.

Head coach Billy Donovan has always gotten the most out of his younger guys, and Dosunmu is further proof of that. Whomever the Bulls draft this year should be able to make an impact. But, what if the Bulls decide to try and move up in order to try and land an even more impactful player?

If the Chicago Bulls want to move up in the 2022 NBA Draft, they certainly have some trade options.

If the Bulls stayed at no. 18, they would be hoping for guys like Duke’s big man Mark Williams or Kentucky’s guard TyTy Washington to fall at that spot. Both players would be excellent additions, but neither one are guaranteed to be there.

Now, this offseason the Bulls do have plenty of questions. Some of them include whether or not to trade certain guys. One or two of these questions could be answered in a potential Draft Day trade, allowing the Bulls to move up just a little bit.

Should Chicago desire to move up from pick no. 18, one of the following three trades might be able to get it done.
