Trades with teams we are familiar with to get win-now help without sacrificing the future.

BULLS

Nurk/Nas/Keon/release restrictions on 2024 1st/top 10 protected 2028 1st for DeRozan/Drummond

PISTONS

Ant/Unprotectd 1st for Bogdanovic/Duren

Bulls get a starting level center at a cheaper rate than what it would cost to replace Vucevic. A couple of young athletic players to compliment LaVine. And a draft better draft capital.

DeRozan's defense has already been subpar, but his size and age would fit in well with Dame in the backcourt. Drummond provides the type of center Billups would rather utilize.

Pistons get a shooter who can take over games on a better timeline with Cade and Ivey. And would break up the log-jam at C since they have Stewart, Bagley and Wiseman.

We end up with a starting unit of

Dame/DeRozan/Bogdanovic/Grant/Drummond

and minutes for our youth off the bench in Scoot/Sharpe/Walker/Duren.
