Ask Sam Mailbag: Bulls playoff rotation, MJ in today's NBA and more

Sam answers your questions about Chicago's playoff rotation, Jordan in today's league and more.

Basheer Khan:

Rumor are beginning to percolate about LeBron James and his management perhaps seeking a trade in summer due to unhappiness with GM Rob Pelinka, and with Russell Westbrook likely on the Lakers again in 2022-2023. The thing that is intriguing to me is what if James wants to go to the Bulls?

With Zach Lavine due a monster contract in 2022, would the Bulls sign and trade LaVine for 1 year of James? You'd likely be guaranteed at least a Finals appearance in 2023 with James but will have a Kawhi Leonard-like hole if James leaves as expected after the 2023 season to play with his son Bronny.
