NBA Trade Idea Pairs Ja Morant With Chicago Bulls Star

The Chicago Bulls have been on the verge of a fire sale for the past few years in a row. While the team is halfway committed to the sale by parting ways with both DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso, they still have the contracts of Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic to shed.

A potential trade idea from Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report has proposed an idea that could benefit both the Chicago Bulls and Nikola Vucevic.

Chicago Bulls receive: Brandon Clarke, John Konchar and a top-10 protected first-round pick in 2027

Memphis Grizzlies receiver: Nikola Vucevic

It was reported this week by Marc Stein & Jake Fischer that the Bulls are looking for a first round pick in exchange for Nikola Vucevic, so this trade would fulfill that desire. Not only would the team get a first-round pick, but they would also receive a great contract and potential big-time starter in Brandon Clarke. John Konchar’s $18.4 million contract is a bit hefty, but it’s still a winning deal for Vucevic. However, if the team could somehow receive two first-round picks for Vucevic, that would be even better.

For the Grizzlies, getting Nikola Vucevic would be a very good starting caliber center. However, it will make Zach Edey’s position with the team a little more awkward. It’s clear that Edey can develop into a great player and that Memphis needs to give him the ability to do so.

It’s hard to say if the Memphis Grizzlies would agree to this potential trade, but the Chicago Bulls would surely love it.
