The Chicago Bulls are looking like things may be turning around with some wins lately, but they need to improve the roster. With players now being eligible to be traded, there are a lot of different moves the front office can decide to pull the trigger on. One potential trade package can really help their backcourt step up and give the Bulls an elite scorer. Let’s take a deeper dive into this trade proposal and discuss why Chicago should be interested in it.

In this trade proposal, the Bulls are sending guard Coby White and a 2026 first-round pick (top-10 protected) to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for guard Cam Thomas. Both players are on the final year of their current contracts and will be unrestricted free agents following this season, but this makes sense for both sides. The Bulls would add an elite scoring threat with Thomas, while the Nets continue to stock up draft capital.
This move would also allow the Bulls to sign Thomas to a multi-year contract, locking him in with this core. The Bulls are seemingly in win-now mode, and this gives them an option who can make things happen with the ball in his hands. Thomas has only played in eight games this season as he is recovering from a hamstring injury. Last season, he was able to average 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists while having a 43.8/34.9/88.1 shooting split.
This trade also allows Chicago to move off the decision of re-signing Coby White and getting something for him. This is essentially both teams getting rid of a problem that the other team believes they can fix with upside. It’s not the blockbuster deal that will immediately put the Bulls in championship contention. However, this is a deal that sets the foundation for the future. Pairing Thomas with Josh Giddey as a starting backcourt would make the opposing defense struggle to decide who to defend.
A lineup including Giddey, Thomas, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis, and Nikola Vucevic could work, and it would really help Thomas develop into a more-rounded player. Chicago would also have a younger player who can be a more consistent offensive threat. It will be intriguing to see if the Bulls are interested in this trade proposal.
