I won’t pretend to understand just what the hell it is the Chicago Bulls are doing. Like, do they even know?

Whatever it is, though, dictates they acquire more caps-lock SHOOTING.

That’s the only reasonable way to maximize an offense on the verge of allocating significant usage to Josh Giddey and, potentially, DeMar DeRozan (unrestricted). Very few answers are already on the roster beyond Coby White.

Lonzo Ball would count, but Chicago can’t bank on his availability or effectiveness following a litany of left knee issues. Zach LaVine counts himself, but the Bulls continue to prioritize moving him, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Any meaningful shooting infusion will come from outside the organization. That brings us to Kevin Huerter. He is working off a down year by his standards, as well as left shoulder surgery, but relative to his track record, last season should be considered the exception rather than the rule.

Huerter is a career 38.2 percent shooter from distance on more than seven attempts per 36 minutes, and his marksmanship holds up across a variety of usages. The Bulls need that type of volume and efficiency, regardless of their direction.

And as it turns out, the Sacramento Kings might be interested in LaVine. That interest may be graduating to outright determination if you view their cost-cutting trade that sent Davion Mitchell and Sasha Vezenkov to the Toronto Raptors as proof they’re driving up their breathing room beneath the first apron to facilitate the acquisition of a certain someone on the books for more than $43 million next season.

Snagging Huerter as part of any LaVine-to-Sacramento framework would be a no-brainer for the Bulls. If the Kings are out on him after paying Malik Monk, Chicago can try to fold a Huerter deal into a larger, multiteam LaVine blockbuster or gauge Sacramento’s intrigue in an offer built around some combo of Ayo Dosunmu, Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig (player option).
