Four possible moves with the number 1 pick
The Chicago Bulls have a lot of power with the number one overall pick. Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley are the favorites to be drafted first and second overall and many teams will be interested in moving up to draft one of these players. If the Bulls elect to keep the pick though, there is the chance that others will be traded to make room for one of these guys. The Bulls have several other young big guys, but none are believed to be as good as Beasley. The same goes for point guards if Rose is drafted. So here are four possibilities that could unfold.
- The Chicago Bulls keep the number one pick, and draft Michael Beasley.
- This possibility we already discussed in an earlier article. The Bulls would draft Rose and trade Andres Nocioni and Kirk Hinrich for Elton Brand.
- The Bulls trade pick to the Clippers for Elton Brand and the number 7 pick. With the number seven pick the Bulls then draft D.J. Augustin from Texas.
- The fourth is a little out there, but the Bulls would trade the number one pick and maybe some players to Miami for Dwayne Wade. This would allow the Heat to draft Beasley and Rose with the number 1 and 2 picks.
These are for speculations on what the Bulls may do this off-season. They have a lot of options with the number one pick, and have a lot of control. Whether the Bulls keep the pick or trade it, they should definitely return the form of two years ago when they won 50 games.

Option 4 is the least likely. Wade is untouchable. Besides, the Bulls already have a grip of guards. If Stank-0 was the Bulls GM, there would be alot of smoke and mirrors but in the end Michael Beasley would be in a Bulls uni.
Stank-O, I think your pretty much right about Wade being untouchable, but there are some concerns that Miami may not be able to resign him next summer if they continue to struggle. And the Bulls do have a grip of guards, which is why they would like to trade Hinrich possibly and free room for another. If they can’t, I do see Beasley being the likely draft choice.
