The Chicago Bulls currently hold the 7th pick in the draft, but they had a late push to try and move up in the NBA Draft. There have been rumors all day surrounding the Atlanta Hawks number three pick and teams looking to acquire it.
#Bulls are still making a push to trade up minutes before the draft starts. They're still in discussions with the Hawks to acquire the No. 3 pick, a source says.

Earlier in the afternoon, it was reported that the Dallas Mavericks were trying to put a deal in place, but most believed it wouldn't be enough. The Mavericks have more assets to move then the Bulls, but the team from the Windy City are still giving it a shot.
Eventually that deal did go through, with the Hawks and Mavs swapping the third and fifth overall picks so Dallas can get Luka Doncic, and Atlanta will take Trae Young. The Hawks received a future first-round pick in the deal.
Who exactly the Bulls like is unclear, but they must have someone in mind, that won't be around when the 7th pick rolls in.
