Bulls Get john wall, bradley beal, rui hachimura, two future first round picks Wizards Get zach lavine, kris dunn, chandler hutchison, cristiano felicio, kent bazemore Trail Blazers Get otto porter jr.

According to a report from the Washington Post on the injury status of Wall and how he’s recovering from the Achilles injury, he could actually return to jogging exercises this month. That report mentions that Wall could be returning to basketball activities within 12 months of the surgery he originally had back in February.

That would put the return of Wall around the All-Star Break of the coming 2019-20 regular season. Would that be enough for the fans in the Windy City to actually want him as part of this trade package?

What’s also hard to know here is what the price tag the Wizards would be willing to accept to get off the Wall super max contract money.

Mentioning any trade for the Chicago Bulls with Wall is going to draw a lot of criticism, but hear me out here. Hauling in future draft assets, and just a ton of first round picks in general, seems to be the growing trend among NBA executives. Just look at what Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti was able to do with Russell Westbrook and Paul George.

Yet, so much has to go right here for this trade deal to be pulled off. The Bulls and GarPax gets a massive haul from the Wizards with Bradley Beal, Wall, 2019 first round pick Rui Hachimura, center Moritz Wagner, and two future first round picks. The Portland Trail Blazers also jump in to take the roughly $27 million base salary of Porter Jr. to add wing help to facilitate this deal.
