After missing out on postseason play for the last four years, the Bulls will be looking to improve the on-court personnel this summer, and acquiring a four-time All-Star guard could be one way to do that.

Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report recently named the Bulls as a potential landing spot for Trae Young, turned down his player option with the Washington Wizards for next season in favor of free agency.

Young is expected to agree on a new deal with Washington in free agency, but if those talks hit a snag he could potentially pivot and look to ink elsewhere. That’s where the Bulls could come in.

“Now, the logical reaction to this potential pairing is to wonder how Young would coexist with Josh Giddey. Both have typically needed the ball in their hands to be successful. Neither has shown enough as an off-ball catch-and-shoot threat to have much confidence in them shifting to that role. …But Giddey, at 6’7″, is certainly big enough to slide over on defense. And a creative offensive system could give both playmakers more opportunities to attack defenses initially scrambled by the other,” Bailey wrote.

“The fit would take a little time to figure out, but there’s no doubt Young would represent a raw talent upgrade. And following the implementation of Adam Silver’s new anti-tanking measures, it wouldn’t be surprising to see more bad or mediocre teams taking swings on raw talent.”
