The Chicago Bulls’ forward Patrick Williams is likely to get traded to the Dallas Mavericks this offseason. Having multiple players with the same profile is not a great thing until and unless we are talking about defensive wings. The Mavericks know that pretty well and that is why they did not stop when they acquired Josh Green. They are expected to sign a few more defensive wings. The Bulls might want to part ways with the one they have.
The Florida State Seminoles product played 82 games for the Bulls last season and averaged 10.2 points, 1.2 assists, and 4 rebounds per game while shooting 41.5 percent from beyond the arc. The Bulls know that they are not going to contend this season, and if they choose to rebuild, they might trade Patrick for some assets. Can the Mavericks land him? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Dallas Mavericks and the Chicago Bulls involving Patrick Williams.
What would the Mavericks offer for Patrick Williams?
The Mavericks are expected to offer Josh Green, Dwight Powell, and a 2027 first-round pick in exchange for the Bulls’ #44. Both the Mavericks and the Bulls have quality players on their roster, but the former has players who have proved themselves in the league and are considered stars, while the Bulls do not have that kind of players on their roster.

Why would the Bulls trade-off Patrick Williams?
The Bulls have the likes of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic, and they have done great as well. But the Bulls are still struggling, and they might consider rebuilding their core. They might also go ahead and land another star to try their luck. No matter what decision they make, the assets from this deal would come in handy.
