After a major trade in the league, the Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday, the Chicago Bulls are expected to make headlines with the James Harden trade. Many teams have become better by acquiring players, especially the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Bulls don’t want to be left behind for the Eastern Conference.
Some reports suggest that the Bulls have requested the Sixers to trade Harden. Here is the complete story in a nutshell!
Bulls Eyeing James Harden Trade Despite Clippers Call, LaVine on the Move?
The Chicago Bulls didn’t perform well in the previous season. They want to further upgrade their roster by acquiring a guard. And one of the top guards available to trade right now is James Harden.
Since the star guard has already expressed his desire to get traded to the Clippers, it would be a bold move by the Bulls to trade for him even after knowing that the “Beard Star” wants to join the Los Angeles Clippers.

However, the Sixers have been looking for a significant return for their shooting guard, Harden. Due to this, no teams have shown interest in trading for Harden.
But the Bulls have a significant amount of draft capital, which they can utilize to trade for James Harden in this deal.
Moreover, the Bulls have Zach LaVine, who is not interested in playing for them and is looking for a trade as well. In this case, the Bulls can flip LaVine alongside some first-round picks to acquire James from the Sixers.

The Sixers can throw Jaden Springer alongside Harden to acquire LaVine and some quality first-round picks, making them stronger for the future.
In this deal, the Bulls will receive a much-needed guard who can further solidify their roster.
However, some rumours suggest that the Sixers could trade Harden to the Clippers in a 3-team deal. The Sixers would acquire some young players alongside valuable first round picks in exchange for Harden from a third team.
