"In a very tight conference, the Bulls could absolutely be aggressive. They are not too far off and a duo of Kristaps Porzingis and Zach LaVine would make them a borderline contender. The move would also give them something impressive to build around for years to come."
Couple of thoughts, I see Bulls fans write Markkanen is better than KP. If LaVine and KP are contenders what does that make the Mavs? What do the Bulls have that the Mavs would want outside of LaVine?

Nailed it. It's kind of obvious though. They want to keep LaVine and a KP trade could be their front office proving that they believe in him and want to build around him.
KP + Powell for WCj + OPj works financially. Now we just need to talk draft compensation. You might even been able to break even on the original KP trade.
Mavs might then need to sniff around Love or Drummond for the remainder of the season and onward. Drummond would be assets going out and Love would be assets coming in. Maybe that's why we've heard Love rumors?
