Even after losing to the Warriors by the big score, the Bulls are the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference. So far this season, the Bulls have been able to play well enough offensively and defensively under the leadership of players such as DeRozan, Ravin, Vucevic and Lonzo Ball, but if the Bulls want to become a more competitive team, they need to continue to make moves before this year's trade deadline.
But the question is, what kind of deal should the Bulls push for to maximize the team's reinforcement? The advice given by the AMERICAN media Brett Siegel was to promote the Robert Covington deal with the Blazers:
Bulls get: Robert Covington
Blazers get: Kobe White, Troy Brown Jr., 2026 second-round picks (from bulls, protected with top 50 picks)
Assuming the Blazers are ready to change the roster, Covington is the player on the team who has good deal value. In this deal, the Bulls can send two young players in order to get Covington to send Kobe White and Troy Brown Jr., in addition to a second-round draft pick should also be enough to attract the Blazers to promote the deal.
While the Trail Blazers, who own Lillard, McCollum and Anfenney Simmons, may not need Kobe White as much, there's no denying that White still has a good two-player player.
For the Bulls, Covington undoubtedly has a good space and defensive ability of the forward player, he can be a good small forward or big forward player in the Bulls rotation lineup, and even in the small ball lineup can play a center role, to be honest, Covington will be the type of player that the Bulls need more at present.
After all, after reinforcing such a player who can defend any position and has a fairly high three-point shooting rate, this Bulls can definitely become a better competitive team.
