Too envious of the Lakers? It is revealed that if the Bulls knew that Doncic could trade, they would like to give him any assets

On May 31, Chicago Sun reporter Joe Cowley said in a report that the Bulls were willing to give away any assets to get Doncic. Part of the reason why Mavericks fans are dissatisfied with the team's trade to Doncic is that General Manager Harrison failed to do due diligence and only focused his attention on the Lakers and used Anthony Davis as the main deal return. If he had quietly released the signal that Doncic could trade at the time, it might have been exchanged for a richer bargaining chip than Davis, Christie and a first-round pick.

Now that the offseason is entering, reports on what price each team will pay for top stars like Doncic who are at their peak have begun to surface. The Bulls seemed to have shown a strong desire to get Doncic.

"A source revealed to the Sun that (Vice President of Basketball Operations of Bulls) Carnisovas and his management would be willing to send any player in the roster if they received a notice from the Mavericks about Doncic's trade in February," Cowley wrote. "But even so, their offer may not be better than the Lakers' chips for the Mavericks." The problem is that the Bulls have no other attractive trading chips except Boozelis and Kobe White on the trading deadline. The Mavericks are likely not interested in LaVine (later sent to the King in a three-party transaction).

The US media Sports Illustrated Analysis: Suppose the Bulls proposed to use Kobe White, Boozerlis, Patrick Williams, Lonzo Ball, 4 first-round picks and 3 first-round swap rights in exchange for Doncic and Maxi Claybel, is such a price enough? Maybe not enough, because Harrison attaches great importance to Anthony Davis's ability to combine offense and defense. Despite Kobe White's outstanding performance this season, he is far from the level of Anthony Davis.

However, the four first-round picks could have helped the Mavericks rebuild and accumulate sufficient assets. The depth of the lineup brought by White and Boozelis could also help the Mavericks maintain their playoff competitiveness. Patrick Williams may have a better performance after changing teams. It’s just that without a star like Davis as a major trade return, the Mavericks’ ceiling might not be too high.
