The Chicago Bulls just acquired three point guards in less than 24 hours, and it was actually the best move they could’ve made.
Just days before the trade deadline, the Bulls turned Nikola Vučević, Kevin Huerter, Dario Šarić, a 2026 first-round swap, and a future second-round pick into:
🔸 Anfernee Simons
🔸 Mike Conley Jr.
🔸 Jaden Ivey
🔸 A second-round pick
It’s unexpected, but assuming the Bulls make zero more moves before the deadline, they’ll have six point guards on the roster for the rest of the season:
🔸 Anfernee Simons
🔸 Mike Conley Jr.
🔸 Jaden Ivey
🔸 Josh Giddey
🔸 Coby White
🔸 Tre Jones
When you exclude Giddey, the average height of the remaining PGs is just 6'2".
Of course, no one expects Billy Donovan to roll out a five-guard lineup—even playing three at once would be a stretch.
What actually makes this move so smart is the flexibility it gives Chicago heading into next season.
💰 Simons is on an expiring $27.6M deal
💰 Conley is on an expiring $10.4M deal
💰 White is on an expiring $12.8M deal
💰 Ivey will make $10.1M and enters restricted free agency this offseason
When you factor in these expiring contracts along with the team’s other upcoming free agents, the Bulls enter the offseason with the lowest payroll in the league.
The Bulls are cooking something big this summer. 👀
