Would The Bulls Be Dumb Enough ...

I am not sure why so many are so keen on getting another pick in this draft.

1st round picks come with guaranteed rookie contracts. Unless that changes in the pending agreement, I am not sure why the Jazz would want to take on three guaranteed rookie contracts in a draft that really only has a handful of players they want.

Now if you could get an early 2nd round pick, that might have a greater value in this draft. That can allow you to to take a flyer on a guy like Evans without the guarantee if he doesn't pan out.

If that's the case I couldn't imagine it'd be that difficult to move the #30 for a second rounder or package it with Tomic for a future first rounder.
 
Either Miles or Bell for either #28 or #30 (or both) is awesome as far as I'm concerned. The question is how they match salaries since the Bulls are over the cap. They don't have any trade exceptions, do they? Hinrich?

If the Jazz can shed even more salary, this is a no-brainer homerun move.
 
What about any players in this draft would make anyone want multiple late first-round picks, no matter who it helps us dump. We would be better off just buying out Bell rather than taking on another rookie first-round contract.

The amount a late-first rounder is guaranteed is less than what Bell is guaranteed.
 
Besides that, a chance to try out one or more of Jimmy Butler, Charles Jenkins, Reggie Jackson, Darius Morris, or Nolan Smith is worth it to lose Bell. Besides that, assuming Mirotic stays in the draft, you could likely draft him and stash him, which kind of eliminates any salary concerns and crowded roster issues (at least for the moment).
 
I think Dallas would be willing to take on Raja Bell if it was in a package that included Devin Harris.
Both are fan favorites in Dallas and former Mavericks.
Raja Bell could actually start for Dallas, while Devin would eventually takeover for Kidd or start next to him until JK retires.

You know how absurd that is, right?
