One team that could very well be the center of the 2014 NBA Free Agency Rumors & Predictions is the Chicago Bulls. They have vast potential and even higher expectations.

Blessed with a coach that can squeeze the best out of his lineup (even a depleted one) the Bulls are contenders by default. With the highly volatile Eastern Conference, they are almost assured of being at the Top Four just by being healthy.

What if you add a top 10 player to the mix?

Kevin Love is a definite target for Chicago, and Love knows that if he wants to win, if he wants to join a team which can cover his defensive deficiencies-Chicago is his best choice.

Basketball Insiders filed this extensive analysis on the possibility of the Bulls acquiring Love:

"As Kevin Pelton noted at ESPN.com there is an argument that Kevin Love might be the most desirable player traded in nearly 40 years this offseason. Love's shooting, passing, rebounding, post-scoring, and age (25) should make him the Bulls' number one target. If he is willing to opt-in for the last year of his contract as a condition of a trade, the Bulls should move nearly any asset needed to pair him with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah. They obviously will start by offering much less, but Chicago can put together a very attractive package featuring some combination of their two first-rounders this year, any future first-rounders, a top-10 protected pick from the Sacramento Kings, and Taj Gibson. They could also take back bad salary from the Wolves like Kevin Martin or Chase Budinger to make things more palatable. Boozer would of course be included for salary matching.

This package would probably be the best of any team with which Love might actually want to re-sign once he is traded. Other potential suitors might include Houston, Phoenix, and Golden State, but none feature the combination of Love-appeal and assets that the Bulls possess.

Trading for Love could be a risk if Derrick Rose suffers through another injury-plagued year or is ineffective, because he could end up leaving as a free agent. In effect, the Bulls would be doubling down on Rose's health, and be bereft of assets if he cannot deliver and Love leaves. That, however, is a risk worth taking."

The Bulls will be giving up their top level, blue collar power forward Taj Gibson as well as draft picks that they have accumulated to acquire Love. They don't even need assurance-Chicago's culture and their eventual victories will win him over.
