Bulls could be ready to take contracts for picks

Lakers-Bulls

Lakers get highly protected 2nd rd pick

Bulls get Luol Deng, future 1st rd pick (top 3 protected) & 2nd rd pick

Earliest 1st rounder Lakers can offer 2020, I don't think that would satisfy Bulls. But I agree that they should start taking bad contracts for picks.
Several players comes to mind and some nice picks could be obtained: Reggie Jackson, Jon Leuer, Ryan Anderson, Luol Deng, Chandler Parsons, Tyler Johnson (terrible poison pill contract IMO), Mirza Teletovic, John Henson, Solomon Hill, Omer Asik, Joakim Noah, Enes Kanter, Bismack Biyombo, Tyson Chandler, Evan Turner, Meyers Leonard, Ian Mahinmi.
They could absorb 3-4 of those contracts and acquire future assets.
