The Chicago Bulls’ strategy leading up to this Thursday’s trade deadline is being closely watched. Even though it seems like they still plan to fight through this season with their current core, the majority still believes that they should finally press the reset button.
This prompted seasoned sports media personality Bill Simmons to offer a compelling trade suggestion, according to which the Bulls would send Alex Caruso and DeMar DeRozan to the Miami Heat in exchange for Tyler Herro and a first-round selection.
This season, both Deebo and Alex have remained the team’s leaders in Chicago. The All-Star swingman is averaging 22.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.1 boards in 49 games, while the veteran do-it-all in AC has 9.9 points, 3.8 boards, and 2.8 assists while shooting 40.4 percent from three-point range, which is the highest percentage of his career.
In order to close this hypothetical deal, the Heat must pay DeMar and Alex the same amount. However, a possible trade involving all of the aforementioned players will only indicate that the Bulls are determined to rebuild.
Herro and Coby White will create a formidable young backcourt duo, so adding him is an exciting idea. The Miami first-round pick that comes with the deal will also be vital to the team’s future rebuilding efforts.
