Chicago Bulls News: Odds to land James Harden in trade skyrocket after recent news

Harden’s next destination will be his fourth since January 2021, when he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets by the Houston Rockets. The Nets traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers in Feb. 2022. Harden appears on the move again.

The Bulls are interested in Harden

The Bulls were interested in potentially signing Harden. The Bulls would have to go into the luxury tax to pay for him, but the ownership has given the green light to the front office to do just that this offseason. We’ll see if the Bulls are willing to make an offer to trade for Harden.

According to a Tweet by Odds Shark, the Bulls have the ninth-best odds of landing Harden in a trade.

Will the Bulls be able to pull it off? Not Likely. There are several more logical options on that list, including the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, and New York Knicks.

But the Bulls would pull off a stunner if they swapped a player like Zach LaVine for Harden this offseason. The front office and roster want the Bulls to change their offensive philosophy this season and get better at the three-point shot. Adding Harden would fix that.
