The Bulls did very little on NBA trade deadline day. Earlier in the trading season, they obviously made the move with Nikola Mirotic, and wound up acquiring one of the best picks moved all year. In an apparently-tight market for these picks, the high cost of getting that first-rounder is still pronounced, but also somewhat in alignment with the rest of the league.
Having gotten a main objective done, the Bulls worked around the fringes of what was a full roster:
- Flipped Jameer Nelson (who was part of that Mirotic trade) to the Pistons for a second-round pick swap in 2022, and while I cannot fathom a lower asset it is still technically something.
