Yesterday, Vincent Goodwill of NBC Sports Chicago reported that the Bulls are actively trying to move up the draft board.
Well, if the Bulls are serious about moving up, it won't take long for them to find a trade partner.
"staying in the high lottery is obviously crucial to Memphis". Well then, good thing the Bulls have a pick in the high lottery. The Grizzlies seem intent on competing again next season with Mike Conley returning from injury and Marc Gasol remaining productive, but adding an impact rookie doesn't seem to be enough to satisfy the organization. However, they can't do anything in free agency because of injury-riddled Chandler Parsons' contract, which owes him $49M over the next two seasons. That's where the Bulls could come in. The Bulls probably wouldn't need to give up any other assets to move up three spots if they took on Parsons' contract. Also, despite many fans' hopes and wishes, it's likely the Bulls won't be ready to splurge in free agency until after Parsons' contract will come off the books, which means taking on his contract wouldn't be that big of a deal. If the #4 pick comes up and a player the Bulls are enamored with remains available, say Michael Porter or Mo Bamba, it would be nice to see the Bulls be bold and go get their guy.
