The Minnesota Timberwolves need more talent, and the Bulls have an interesting group of role players on their team. While the Wolves will likely be gearing up for a playoff push for next season, the Bulls could be on their way towards the depths of the Eastern Conference. While their rebuild has not quite panned out, they do have a young nucleus consisting of Coby White, Wendell Carter, and Lauri Markkanen.
The Bulls currently hold the 7th-best lottery odds for the draft and need a variety of pieces for their team. Sitting at roughly $108 million in payroll for the 2020-21 season, it is likely they will not have much salary cap space either.
The Timberwolves have the ability to take on extra salary in addition to target some of Chicago’s more experienced players that could help solidify a rotation.
The Bulls, with a new front office, will (and should) be a willing trade partner with teams looking to improve their roster.
All trades work from a salary perspective heading into the 2020 offseason.
