THE Chicago Bulls

This would be one of the more interesting trades that the Timberwolves could make on draft night. The Bulls do not have much to offer on their current roster, but they do have a player very capable of playing good defense and stretching the floor from the power forward position in Thaddeus Young.

The Wolves would be moving Johnson (as soon as he accepts his player option, which is more likely than not), but also be gaining a future first round pick. The Timberwolves would, in all likelihood, be missing out on the top-3 players of this draft. Despite this, there are many guys that are good basketball fits that could become role players in the future expected to be picked in this range.

The Bulls would make this deal in hopes of selecting LaMelo Ball, who they are rumored to want, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.
