The Chicago Bulls get the point guard they need in the trade proposal for Malcolm Brogdon

Despite Coby White's exceptional performance this season, it is evident that the Chicago Bulls still need an experienced floor general to lead the team. This is where someone like former Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon comes in.

Brogdon, who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, has proven to be a reliable point guard with impressive playmaking abilities. His leadership and court vision have been critical throughout his career, and he would undoubtedly bring those same qualities to the Bulls.

In this trade idea concocted by Bleacher Report, the Bulls would send Lonzo Ball, Julian Phillips, and a 2024 first-round pick to Portland for the veteran guard. Could this work?

Disjointed fit with the Blazers’ timeline

At 31 years old, Brogdon’s fit with the young Trail Blazers squad is highly questionable. Portland wants to start from scratch, leaning on young studs like Anfernee Simons, Deandre Ayton, and Shaedon Sharpe to lead the charge, making him a player to monitor at the trade deadline on February 8.

“The Damian Lillard-less, rebuilding Portland Trail Blazers should, arguably, be marketing all of their remaining veterans in search of future-focused assets this trade season. If they aren't that active, though, rival executives think Malcolm Brogdon is more likely to be moved than Jerami Grant because "he's considered less expensive to acquire,” per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype,” Zach Buckley wrote.
