The Bulls don't need to tear things down, but they should consider a reset of the franchise now before DeRozan hits free agency next year.

Point guard is still an issue with Lonzo Ball projected to miss most, if not all, of next season following a third knee surgery. After a disappointing playoff showing, Chicago should be able to acquire Russell as a reasonable contract number to be their new starting floor general. While he's not a true pass-first guard, the combination of Russell, Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso should be enough ball-handlers to navigate through a season.

Bamba gives the team insurance in the frontcourt if Nikoka Vucevic leaves in free agency, and Christie shot 41.9 percent from three as a rookie and doesn't turn 21 until February. Getting the Lakers' unprotected first-round pick in 2029 could prove to be a valuable selection or future trade asset as well.

DeRozan gives the Lakers a third All-Star to pair with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, putting Los Angeles back into true championship contention.

Chicago Bulls Receive: PG D'Angelo Russell (via sign-and-trade), F/C Mo Bamba, SG Max Christie, 2029 unprotected first-round pick

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G/F DeMar DeRozan
