The Chicago Bulls are about to enter the trade deadline and they have not said a word. Due to his season-ending surgery, Zach LaVine is probably out of the picture for now, but there are still a number of players they might attempt to trade for at this year’s deadline.
Though the majority of attention has been on potential trade targets for the Bulls, there should be greater discussion about players who could return to Chicago as part of a deal. Five possible trade targets for each team in the league at the last minute were recently highlighted by Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale.
Austin Reaves, the guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, is one of the players he recommended the Bulls seek.
“A 25-year-old Austin Reaves isn’t very youthful. However, Favale said that DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso still rank among the Los Angeles Lakers’ most likely suitors, and that his deal is team-friendly. “Reaves would provide offensive depth after any trade, and Chicago should really just be attempting to get as much value as they can out of the Purple and Gold.”
Reaves is supposedly a part of the Lakers’ future, and they have thus far refused to include him in any trades. But, the Bulls ought to insist on including Reaves in the deal if they became eager to add someone like Caruso or DeRozan to the roster.
Reaves’ season average thus far is 15.5 points, 4.0 assists.

Forsberg stated, “[Tillman] is going to have an opportunity to spell for Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford,” on the Arbella Early Edition of NBC Sports Boston. “When you go watch the tape — it’s intriguing — he’s not very big, 6-foot-8, but he’s long, he’s active, he’s going to look a lot like Al when he’s out there on the floor with the way that he plays.”
The Celtics allegedly wanted a guy who could strengthen their bench, so while the deal won’t exactly make waves online, it’s precisely what they got. This season, Tillman has been an important member of the Grizzlies rotation, averaging 20.6 minutes per game, 6.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals, and one block. As he
He’s a switcher, Forsberg continued. “I watched some videos of him playing against [Jamal] Murray and [Nikola] Jokic, where he can switch on to guards, hold his own, block shots, and move his feet. Just the fact that he had an affair with Kyrie Irving will make him popular with the Celtics fan base.”
As the majority of Boston’s scoring is produced by the starting five of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, and Kristaps Porzingis, Tillman can excel as a defensive-minded rotation player. The Michigan State fourth-year forward might contend for playing time among Horford, Sam Hauser, and Payton Pritchard, which would mean he would likely deplete Luke Kornet’s and Neemias Queta’s minutes.
