NBA Trade Rumors: 8 deals that need to happen at the deadline

Lonzo Ball to Chicago

Lonzo Ball could end up being the biggest name that is moved at the NBA Trade Deadline and there are many teams that should be interested in acquiring the talented (still) young guard. One potential landing spot that I love is the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls could throw a future first-round pick and a salary filler such as Thaddeus Young to give New Orleans some financial flexibility, which they’ll need when they begin to extend some of their young stars.

New Orleans would be happy to get a first-round pick for Lonzo, who they likely won’t end up re-signing any way during the offseason. This is more about getting something before losing a player for nothing during the offseason for Chicago.
