Different circumstances different team
A new scenery does good more so than not, lowkey it probably would be a good bet Beal avgs more than 30 if he was traded somewhere else next season

Well a couple years ago when lonzo was healthy is when the window opened, they would’ve improved on that but he got injuredWhat "window" is this you're referring to?
Play-in window?
Since they don’t want to rebuild then they need to do something to reset the window

The bulls are dumb. They already double downed to overpay vucevic and they looking to over pay DeMar next.

That’s what I’m saying
I believe You can 100% build a better team with Beal as one of the top three options, get younger athletic bigs and some wings, try to get demar on a reasonable deal and maybe try to see if you can get another allstar and they will be a top team in the east
A beal trade is probably more realistic than a trae young trade, and maybe they can find another all star somewhere
Agent Rich Paul pushes back on Zach LaVine slander
With trade talks ongoing, Klutch Sports Group CEO is letting franchise ‘handle their business’
www.nbcsportschicago.com
The entire NBA knows that the Chicago Bulls are shopping two-time All-Star guard Zach LaVine. It’s been a storyline for months, if not years.
And the longer it drags on, the potential for messiness increases. Fingers can get pointed. Accusations can get made. Leaks can target character.
It’s this dynamic that Rich Paul, LaVine’s agent and CEO Of Klutch Sports Group, wanted to emphatically address on Thursday.
“I want to make this clean and clear: This whole idea that Zach has been anything but professional in this situation is false. This guy has played hurt. He has represented the franchise with class. A lot has taken place during his time with the Bulls and he’s taken the high road every time,” Paul said by phone. “Does every player get frustrated at times? Yes. But Zach has been the ultimate professional and deserves better.
“The Bulls have business to do. And we’re letting them handle their business.”
....
By trading for Josh Giddey to play alongside White, the Bulls appear poised to start a backcourt for the future. The mutual understanding between Bulls management and LaVine’s representation that a change of scenery is best for all parties seems the prudent path.
The Bulls have presented upwards of 15 proposals to teams over the previous weeks. League sources indicated that the Kings and Warriors showed the most interest, although in the latter case, they’ve since made moves that likely signal another direction.
Interested teams will likely want an additional asset attached to take on LaVine’s three years and $138 million. The longer this situation takes to resolve, the less value the Bulls could receive in return.
