The Chicago Bulls snatched young potential star Jabari Parker when the Milwaukee Bucks renounced their rights on the 2014 second overall pick, making him an unrestricted free agent. Parker will be joining a team brimming with young and talented, yet unproven, players like Zach LaVine and Lauri Markannen.

Even with the Parker signing, experts still do not place the Bulls near the Eastern Conference's contenders next season. What if the Bulls decide to stockpile more draft pick assets like what the Boston Celtics successfully did in the past few seasons?

In a hypothetical trade scenario created by Redditor sclop123, the Bulls may want to trade Parker in exchange for the New York Knicks' 2019 and 2021 first-round draft picks and…the bloated contract of former Bulls center Joakim Noah.

If you're from the Bulls' top brass, why wouldn't you want to take this deal? The 2019 draft class will include Duke's R.J. Barrett and Zion Williamson, along with North Carolina's Nassir Little. They are all freakishly athletic and potential game-changers. With Porzingis out in the early months of the season, the Knicks would most probably have a bad record by the time he returns. That leaves the Knicks with one option for them to be successful in the long run: activate tanking mode. But they'll have to wait for Parker to be trade eligible as the Bulls had just signed the offensive-minded forward.

Of course, Noah's remaining $37 million contract for the next couple of years will be a burden. But that's not a huge price to pay if you're replacing the injury-prone Parker with the likes of Barrett or Williamson. In fact, Noah could even be a mentor for young big men Markannen and Bobby Portis as both their weaknesses lie on defense and rebounding—the very strengths of Noah.

On the other hand, this trade is too risky for the Knicks. Despite the fact rookie Kevin Knox believes that they are a playoff-ready team, their current roster is just below average even in the weaker Eastern Conference.
