The Chicago Bulls' G League team, the Windy City Bulls, just got a massive talent upgrade.
On Monday, the Bulls swung a trade with the Golden State Warriors' affiliate in Santa Cruz to acquire Kevin Knox.
The deal, according to Evan Sidery, sends a 2026 G League first-rounder to Santa Cruz for the rights of Knox to come to Windy City.
This move was a bit a matter of procedure. The Chicago Bulls had already signed Knox to an NBA training camp contract, then waived him to align him to end up with Windy City. But since Santa Cruz had most recently owned his G League rights, the Windy City Bulls needed to compensate the Santa Cruz Warriors in a trade to get Knox officially onto their roster.

Knox was the No. 9 overall pick by the Knicks in the 2018 NBA Draft.
From there, he played for the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz.
In 320 career NBA games, Knox has averaged 7.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game while shooting 34% from 3-point range.
Last season, Knox spent part of his time in the G League and part of it in the NBA.
He appeared in 14 games for limited minutes with the Golden State Warriors in the NBA.
In the G League with the Santa Cruz Warriors, Knox averaged 25.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

Knox is still just 26 years old. There's always a chance he can work his way back into an NBA rotation.
For now, though, he's just going to spend more time in the G League, where he should be able to get ample buckets.
