Trade Deadline Fallout: What Did the Chicago Bulls Gain, Lose? cover image

Keep track of every move the Bulls made at the trade deadline:

The 2026 NBA trade deadline was a whirlwind for the Chicago Bulls. Vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley flipped the team's roster on its head, dealing nearly every expiring contract for younger talent and/or a plethora of second-round picks.

On Thursday night, the Bulls are slated to face the Raptors in Toronto. The team that takes the floor will look very different than the one that has suited up during the first half of the season.

Who is left on the roster? What long-term draft assets did Chicago acquire? Does the team have too many guards?
