But the team has been "fun-bad," thanks to solid play from two-time All-Star small forward/shooting guard LaVine, two-time All-Star center Nikola Vucevic, and guards Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu and Giddey. In the mediocre East, the Bulls are good enough to have at least a shot at the postseason.

On Thursday, Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale suggested that Chicago could land All-Star wing Brandon Ingram of the New Orleans Pelicans in a multi-team deal with LaVine. Ingram, a former No. 2 overall pick of the Los Angeles Lakers, is on an expiring contract.

The Boston Celtics could make a massive blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bulls if things don't go according to their championship plans.
