They have their own pick which may now become a lottery selection if they miss the playoffs. They have Sacramento's 1st pick this year though it is protected (1-10 through 2017) and unlikely to be used this year. If Sacremento can acquire a good player through the draft and get their act together the next few years this will wind up being a pretty good pick for Chicago or a trade asset.
They have Charlotte's pick this year which they may wind up keeping as it is top 10 protected but Charlotte is currently the 7 seed in the East and Chicago tanking will help them stay out of the lottery and into 1st round fodder.
So they could easily wind up with 2 lottery selections (though with a real longshot to get into the top 3) this year and they most likely have European star Mirotic coming next year.
