After drafting Caleb Wilson at Pick 4 and Dailyn Swain at Pick 15, the Chicago Bulls have decided they’ll be bringing in just one more rookie from this draft class.
Tonight at 7 p.m. CT, Round 2 of the 2026 NBA Draft gets underway, with the Bulls originally holding two selections: Pick 38 (via New Orleans) and Pick 56 (via Denver).
However, according to Shams Charania, the Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring Pick No. 56 from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for cash considerations.
Sources: The Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring No. 56 from the Chicago Bulls in the second round of the NBA draft tonight at 8 pm ET on ESPN. Lakers sent cash to the Bulls to get a pick tonight.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 24, 2026That means the Bulls are now set to make just one selection in the second round at Pick 38.
Yesterday, the Los Angeles Lakers traded up from Pick 25 to Pick 24 to draft Cameron Carr out of Baylor, a player many believed would come off the board much earlier. Earlier today, they also re-signed Austin Reaves to a four-year, $185 million maximum contract, which includes a player option for the final season in 2029-30.
It’s clear they’ve used a significant portion of their available cap space on that deal and are now looking to add more talent through the second round with the pick they just acquired.
According to Brett Siegel, he anticipates “the Lakers looking to move up again from this pick.”

— Brett Siegel (@BrettSiegelNBA) June 24, 2026As for Chicago, I wish they had tried to trade up yesterday for either the New York Knicks’ pick or the Denver Nuggets’ pick, both of which were reportedly on the trade block. But even today, there are still some intriguing names on the board at No. 38, including Meleek Thomas, Isaiah Evans, Henri Veesaar, and Ugonna Onyenso. I’d be happy if the Bulls came away with any one of them.
