Leonard trade and the Bulls

Of course, the other possibility here is the Bulls act as a facilitator. If the Lakers want to execute a grand plan, the Bulls could offer to take Ingram or Kuzma off their hands. One possible strategy is the Bulls give Omer Asik to the Lakers and take back their old friend Deng.

The Lakers could waive Asik and use the stretch provision on the final year of his contract to create cap space. Since Deng will be tough to unload, this could become a viable option if the Lakers can give the Bulls enough sweetener. And it would take a huge incentive, since Deng for Asik would add about $25 million to the Bulls' payroll.

The Bulls could help the Lakers create cap space to sign James and George, but they'd be looking to gain those same players the Lakers would use as Leonard trade bait. The NBA hot stove will be complicated, but the Bulls will have opportunities to get involved.
