• Fortunately, unlike in previous seasons, the Bulls section of Marks’ deep dive gave fans a lot to be excited about. While only two players find their name under the “valuable trade assets” category – Zach LaVine and Thaddeus Young – we are reminded that the Bulls do have plenty of upcoming cap space and all of their future first-round pick to mess with. Marks also lists the Bulls as having zero players off the table, which is a philosophy we’ve been preaching over here at BN Bulls for quite some time. While I don’t believe this means the Bulls should look to trade anyone for anything, I do think it means that the franchise is in no place to let a ringing phone go unanswered. Even though all signs point to the team holding onto LaVine as we head into the 2021-22 season, they would simply be doing themselves a disservice if they didn’t listen to potential offers.
