Eric Wong looks at the teams most impacted by the NBA trade deadline and the players who will be most helped or hurt by those deals.

Inaction could not last forever. The Chicago Bulls finally made a move at the trade deadline after three consecutive years of standing pat, taking one more step forward toward a future vision of a rebuild.

Zach LaVine might have felt more bitterness if the Bulls had traded him a year ago, but he had nothing but good things to say about his former organization after being dealt to the Kings, writes Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times.

If the season ended today, the Bulls would finish in a spot that they are very familiar with. Chicago is currently in 10th place in the Eastern Conference and they would make the play-in tournament again if the standings stay the same.
