Bulls May Pursue Celtics’ Dennis Schroder, Nets’ Paul Millsap

The Bulls could have trade interest in Celtics point guard Dennis Schroder ahead of the Feb. 10 trade deadline, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

As we relayed earlier, Schroder seems to be the Celtics’ most available player. Given that Boston may not be seeking much in return, he might be a fit for a Chicago backcourt that has suffered its fair share of key injuries.

“With the injuries to Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso, and Chicago in a win-now mode, he’s the type of player the Bulls can buy low on for a second-round pick and a player like Troy Brown Jr., for example,” Scotto said on the HoopsHype Podcast.

Interestingly, Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report reported something similar: “A framework of Schroder to Chicago for Brown Jr. and a second-round pick has circulated around the league,” Fischer wrote.

Along with Schroder, the Bulls could have trade interest in Nets forward Paul Millsap, Scotto added. Millsap has reached an agreement with Brooklyn to try to find a trade.

“The Bulls showed real interest in Millsap before he chose the Nets as a free agent,” Scott said. “They could use a little help with their frontcourt depth as they try to make a run in the playoffs.”
