Bulls must exploit Mavericks dysfunction, make bold trade for next-level shot blocker

Despite losing three of their last four games, it's fair to include the Chicago Bulls in a list of Eastern Conference playoff contenders -- though there are certainly holes to be filled on a young roster.

Making a trade to acquire center Daniel Gafford from the Dallas Mavericks would immediately plug one of those holes.

The Bulls are one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA and are staying afloat defensively. But with a 35-year-old Nikola Vucevic playing 31.7 minutes per game and Zach Collins still sidelined with a wrist injury, head coach Billy Donovan has had to watch his team bleed points at the rim.
