When the Chicago Bulls beat the Atlanta Hawks in this year's NBA Play-in Tournament, it did not seem like Atlanta was going to be on a much different path than the Bulls going into the offseason. Both teams had rosters that were not getting it done, but neither one had much of a way to improve. That changed when the Hawks won the NBA Draft Lottery, while Chicago is stuck with the 11th pick and a lot of questions about the future of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso, and Nikola Vucevic.
"Content may be the wrong word, and I do get the sense both sides are motivated to make something work this offseason. I don’t think the Bulls will take an awful deal if little materializes, but I do get the sense they’re open to more possibilities than before. More to the point: I’ve reported before what their asking price was---All-Star level talent, first-round picks or both---and my sense is that it has dropped significantly.
the Hawks should trade for LaVine and I still feel that way, mostly. However, if the price is super cheap, it should at least be talked about. LaVine is an intriguing fit next to Trae Young from a scoring and offensive perspective. The Hawks having the No. 1 pick also means they could get some defensive help to help protect a poor defensive backcourt with Young and LaVine.
