Bulls hold unexpected edge in superstar chase few can match

As NBA teams contemplate all-in trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis and others, the Chicago Bulls have a unique and powerful edge: They own all their first-round picks through 2032 (and potentially an eighth coming from the Portland Trail Blazers).

Not to be lost in the equation -- the Bulls also have seven expiring contracts to match salaries and further attract teams like the Milwaukee Bucks with the chance to clear their ledger moving forward.

Does any of this mean executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas will actually consummate any deal at February's trade deadline, let alone a blockbuster move to bring in a player like Antetokounmpo or Davis?
