Atlanta Hawks star named dream trade target for Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls could go several different directions this summer. With many expecting them to finally rebuild, could their plan of action be more retooling?

If DeMar DeRozan re-signs with the Bulls, it’s safe to assume they won’t look to completely rebuild. That said, this current list isn’t working, so things need to change. In a recent article, Bleacher Report named a dream trade target for each team and suggested the Bulls could benefit from acquiring Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray.

“Chicago finished 28th last season in assist percentage (59.4 percent), with DeRozan’s 5.3 assists per game leading the team,” Bleacher Report wrote. “Murray had 21.1 points and 9.2 assists in his final year as a starting point guard with the San Antonio Spurs in 2021-22, being named an All-Star. A new starting backcourt for Murray and Coby White, both at 6’5”, would relieve White of the pressure of the game, allowing him to attack more as a scorer. “

At 27, Murray could also serve as something of a bridge between this era of Bulls basketball and the next. By helping Chicago stay competitive now, Murray could also be something they build around in the future – assuming they don’t continue to return to this current roster.
