## Resource

The Bulls pulled off a savvy, asset-light trade for Nic Claxton — a starting-caliber center on a reasonable deal — in a three-team deal that sends Mo Gueye to Minnesota on a non-guaranteed contract. With lottery reform killing the “tank for a pick” era, this move reflects a new focus on smart, cap-space-driven building rather than deliberate tanking. Claxton, who signed an extension with the Nets, is now available due to Brooklyn’s tanking strategy — and his contract is viewed as neutral by Chicago. But concerns linger: back injuries, declining rim protection and rebounding, and his age could limit his upside. Still, this trade uses up significant cap flexibility, and Claxton could serve as a developmental piece or future trade asset — especially as the draft looms and the Bulls’ pick strategy will be closely watched.
