If you’re a Chicago Bulls fan, the past few years haven’t been the easiest. Since 2017, the team has managed only one first-round playoff appearance. Despite years of rebuilding and trading for stars like Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, there hasn’t been much recent success to get fans excited.
Here’s a look at the six Bulls who have the most trade value and why their individual circumstances warrant trades.
The Chicago Bulls were rumored to be interested in taking on Bradley Beal’s contract as a third team in a deal involving the Suns and the Miami Heat on Monday.
Nikola Vucevic has been at the center of trade rumors this season, and one team that seems to be interested is the Golden State Warriors.

The Chicago Bulls lost to the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers 109-97 on Saturday night for their eighth defeat in 10 games. They fell to 8-16 at the United Center this season.
BOTTOM LINE: Nikola Vucevic and the Chicago Bulls visit Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics in Eastern Conference action. The Celtics have gone 23-9 against Eastern Conference opponents. Boston is third in the Eastern Conference scoring 117.2 points while shooting 45.7% from the field.
Bradley Beal will not waive his no-trade clause in a potential deal that would send the Phoenix Suns guard to the Chicago Bulls, per a report.
With their well-known interest in Jimmy Butler, the Phoenix Suns could reportedly pursue another Eastern Conference star ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline. NBA insider Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reported Friday that the Suns could develop interest in Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine: "Sources say Phoenix,
The Denver Nuggets head to United Center to face the Chicago Bulls in a non-conference matchup. The Nuggets are 28-16, which puts the team in fourth place in the Western Conference. The Bulls are 19-26, which puts the team in 10th place in the Eastern Conference.
