Goran Dragic, Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls are not having the season that they had hoped. Even though there’s still time for the team to change the narrative on the season, with how deep the Eastern Conference is, I’m not sure how high they can jump in the standings even if they turn things around during the second half of the season.

It would be somewhat shocking if the Bulls didn’t make a trade or two at the NBA Trade Deadline, even if it isn’t a big move. And one player that the team could end up moving is Goran Dragic, who is on an expiring contract. At 37 years old, Dragic would probably prefer to be on a contending team. Maybe the Bulls can make that happen once he becomes trade eligible.

In a limited role this season for the Bulls, Dragic is averaging eight points and three assists on 44 percent shooting from the field and 42 percent shooting from 3-point range. He could be a player that adds some firepower off the bench as well as valued leadership to a young Cavs team.
