Bulls rising star guard surprisingly labeled 'best current trade asset'

The Chicago Bulls have a ton of work to do from a front office standpoint.


The Bulls as currently constructed are too good to tank and not good enough to scare anyone in the Eastern Conference. Chicago is stuck in NBA purgatory, and there’s no worse place to be from an organizational perspective.


Chicago has been trying to move Zach LaVine for an eternity, and Nikola Vucević has also been on the trading block for months. No takers.


The Bulls might have to package some of their more attractive assets to move either of those guys. It’s difficult to know where Chicago should turn for trading partners, but everything must be on the table.


While the Bulls would love to make Coby White untouchable, they might not have the luxury to do so given the circumstances just described.


In a new report this week, Bleacher Nation’s Elias Schuster interestingly identified White as Chicago’s best trade asset.


"I debated this morning who would be the Bulls’ best current trade asset," Schuster said. "The easy answer is Coby White, particularly after his breakout 2023-24 campaign. But how much is he really getting you on the market at this very moment? Does he net you a lightly protected first and another young player?"


"Can he get you two firsts? If that’s the return for your best trade asset, you know you’re in a tough spot. Patrick Williams used to feel like a potentially strong trade chip, but the new contract has likely dropped his value. Ayo Dosumu could garner a lot of interest, but enough to warrant considering an actual trade?"


"The main reason I bring this up is because the Bulls have to keep all options on the table moving forward. When you’re in rebuild mode, practically nobody is safe."


Moving White would be sad to see, but Chicago is running out of viable options when it comes to transforming their roster. Maybe it’s time to make Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis the only untouchables and go from there.
