Thoughts? Who says no?

01 Apr 2024 13:22:04
Why would the pacers do this?

09 Apr 2024 03:00:39
to be honest, they don't have a good reason to. But for 1 team out of 15, it'd be pretty easy to transfer another first to them or something.

17 Apr 2024 22:41:18
Hell no as a Magic fan.

07 Feb 2024 19:44:22
SAC - CHI

Sacramento receives: Caruso, Carter, Taylor

Chicago receives: Huerter, Mitchell, '26 first, '25 2nd via POR

Sacramento depth:
Fox / Carter
Caruso / Monk / Jones
Barnes / Duarte / Edwards / Taylor
Murray / Lyles / Vezenkhov
Sabonis / McGee / Len

Chicago depth:
White / Mitchell / Ball
Huerter / Dosunmu / Terry / LaVine
DeRozan / Phillips
Williams / Craig
Vucevic / Drummond

Sacramento may end up adding more in a bidding war, but I think taking Carter's contract off Chicago's hands helps their case. SAC has shown willingness to overpay for the right player in the past.

08 Feb 2024 19:40:55
King's most recent GM doesn't overpay. Now, when Vlade Divac was the GM there was a ton of overpaying.

11 Feb 2024 11:23:48
Kings GM do not pay - and - do not win. :: ) ) ) LOL.

11 Feb 2024 15:36:14
@Dalcon. looking at the current standings. Kings > Mavs.

Looking at last season's playoff bracket. What seed were the Mavs? Oh that's right, their GM TOLD them to loose games.

11 Feb 2024 16:01:51
Look where they are - and imagin where they will be ; )

04 Feb 2024 21:04:19
GS gets Caruso

CHI gets Kuminga and future 1st

Its been said that Chicago wants two firsts for Caruso. This is as close to 2 firsts as it gets. This trade is also based on a scenario where multiple trades are made by GS.

05 Feb 2024 04:27:12
I think Kuminga's stock is higher than this right now.

02 Feb 2024 16:59:33
Lakers: Caruso+R O'Neal
Bulls:Dinwidie (expiring)
Nets:Russell+Ball+ 2rnd pick LA

02 Feb 2024 17:36:24
Lakers robbing the Nets and I can't see Chicago giving away Caruso just to dump Ball.

02 Feb 2024 20:42:29
The Nets should aim on the 2025 free agency (Giannis, Tatum, mitchell, . ), when Simmons expires. They're nog going to extend O'Neal and Dinwidie. And they can propably flip Russell for another asset next year.

The offer for Caruso is a little low, but i don't see a team giving up a first for him. This gives the bulls a chance to sign a free agent next year.

04 Feb 2024 01:16:04
I don't think the bulls a super desperate for cap space, Lonzo expires in 2025,which is a much better fa class. Caruso ain't valueless you can at least get like 3 seconds for him.

04 Feb 2024 04:00:42
You think DLo + a second gets Caruso + O'neal? LOL!

04 Feb 2024 04:14:51
Can easily get a first for Caruso, he's just shy of 10 mil for next year and several teams would want him.

04 Feb 2024 08:24:22
Why does everyone thinks that Lakers players or assets are valueless. Ohh maybe they hate the lakers.

04 Feb 2024 12:04:14
The Lakers have 4 assets that have the value of a 1st or more, and one of them is their own 1st in 2029. DLO is negative. If they're not going to include any of those 4 assets in trade, the only way they can acquire a good player is if that player is overpaid or has issues like Miles Bridges.

04 Feb 2024 15:28:46
How is DLO negative? His contract isn't bad. He is not a bad player. Defense can be improved though.

04 Feb 2024 21:14:32
Who would want to pay him almost 19 mil next year?

05 Feb 2024 01:00:57
@Psiphon. Welcome to a market economy. The MARKET determines the "value" of the player you are trading. So far, no one in the market values DLo enough to give the Lakers a "valuable" player in return. This is true for all the Lakers players not named Lebron, AD & Reeves.

05 Feb 2024 02:28:58
Thank you Fred and Nightcap for your response, I truly understand, coming from a Celtics and Kings fan. We'll see what happens at the deadline.

05 Feb 2024 16:56:37
Austin Reeves is overrated, defense is as bad as Dlo, doesn’t have assists like Dlo . You don’t think Dlo can get 20 points a night if he looked to score more. They like Reeves because Lebron likes him, not saying he’s a bad player. But to say he’s untouchable to me is ridiculous.

06 Feb 2024 09:31:59
Well austin reaves might be overrated but is not horribly paid.

01 Feb 2024 18:58:17
Atlanta - Golden State - Chicago

Atlanta get Andrew Wiggins, Ayo Dosunmu, 1st round pick Chicago & 1st round pick Golden State

Young/Dosunmu
Wiggins/Bogdanovic
Bey/Griffin/Matthews
Johnson/Hunter
Capela/Okongwu

Golden State get Nikola Vucevic & Patty Mills

Curry/Paul/Mills
Thompson/Podziemski/Payton
Kuminga/Moody
Green/Jackson-Davis/Saric
Vucevic/Looney

Chicago get Dejounte Murray

Murray/Carter
Lavine/White
Derozan/Caruso
Williams/Craig
Drummond/FA

02 Feb 2024 12:55:10
It's not a bad compensation. But as a Hawks fan our front office is in shambles. Honestly I don't think they know what they want to do.

27 Jan 2024 20:10:56
Bulls try to win now, Mavs build winning, Wiz process rebuilding:

CHI Kuzma, Hardaway
DAL Gafford, Patrick Williams, Dosunmu
WIZ Prosper, Holmes, Ball, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd

28 Jan 2024 12:27:24
How are the bulls trying to win now they are a complete mess.

25 Jan 2024 20:14:31
Mavs need defense, Bulls want to win, Hawks look to get 2x1st back:

ATL Hardy, Ball, 1st DAL, 1st CHI
DAL Patrick Williams, Murray, Carter
CHI Kyrie, Prosper, Morris

26 Jan 2024 13:59:15
It takes at least a 1st just to dump Ball. Bad for Atlanta.

25 Jan 2024 16:20:59
PISTONS get Zach LaVine

BULLS get Bojan Bogdanović, Alec Burks, Isaiah Stewart and 3 second rounders

There are rumours about talks between Pistons and Bulls about LaVine. Pistons have cap space, they need to reach salary floor for the next season anyway. It can not be worse than now

For Chicago, any return for LaVine is great

25 Jan 2024 10:33:26
BULLS get Kyle Lowry

HORNETS get Ayo Dosumnu, Lonzo Ball and second round pick

Bulls can not trade LaVine, so this trade keep them little more competitive and clear their cap for next season.

Hornets get young backcourt player with defensive potential. They are not free agent destination and are not in that timeline, so they can absorb Lonzo's salary for next season, especially cause this would made happy their leading star.

25 Jan 2024 15:57:39
Lowry is washed not helping rubbish.

24 Jan 2024 07:48:48
Pacers: Z Lavine
Bulls: Toppin+ Hield+Smith+ return 2 rnd pick Chi 24+ 2rnd pick Bucks 24+ 1rnd pick Indy 28 (lottery protected)

Indy:
C:Turner/Jackson
PF:Siakam/Walker
SF:Mathurin/Nesmith
SG:LaVince/Sheppard
PG:Haliburton/Nembhard

20 Jan 2024 00:12:33
Heat; D Green+G Payton

Heat
C:Adebayo/ K Love
PF:D Green/ Jovic
SF:Jaquez/Martin
SG:Herro/Robinson

20 Jan 2024 19:08:50
Dray better shoot good to help Miami I like parts of the deal though.

22 Jan 2024 08:47:21
I think this can help all teams.

GS creates capspace and they get a good player to make the playoffs this year.

D Green is a good fit for the Heat.

Philly get a veteran leader

And the Bulls get a pick and they can try to upgrade Wiggins value.

19 Jan 2024 17:12:16
Gs - vooch & thybulle

Curry
Klay
Thybulle

15 Jan 2024 10:10:57
CHA/CHI

CHA get Zach Lavine

Pg Ball/Rozier
Sg Lavine/Bouknight
Sf Miller/Martin
Pf Washington/Thor
Ce Williams/Richards

CHI get Gordon Hayward (exp) & Miles Bridges & 2 2nd round picks

Pg White/Dosunmu/Carter
Sg Derozan/Caruso
Sf Hayward/Williams/Terry
Pf Bridges/Craig
Ce Vucevic/Drummond

If it's true that others view Zach's contract is bad that Chicago needs to stick a first with it, a trade with a team that has no star signing could work. Bulls add 2 good rotational pieces that could fit better

13 Jan 2024 12:35:15
Scenario that is in discussion and TOR is interested in. Siakam would agree to sign a max deal in Dallas - if offered. Mavs are all in, but have the good roster. TOR gets a young rebuilded roster! ORL starts Bitadze and will resign him and get a frist. Chi gets another backup C, since Drummond will go to DAL winter or summer.


TOR W. Carter, Williams, Prosper, Carter
DAL Siakam, McDaniels, Drummond
ORL Holmes, 1st DAL
CHI Maxi, 2nd DAL

13 Jan 2024 22:24:57
Do you make trades just to bait reactions? How on earth is Siakam not fetching you any picks at all with minimal prospects?

14 Jan 2024 09:48:24
Do y comment just for saying? TOR looks for young players first over picks!

Quickley, Barrett, Barnes, Williams (Prosper), Carter Jr.

13 Jan 2024 11:33:22
Nets:Z LaVine
Bulls: B Simmons+ C Thomas+ 2rnd pick Nets

12 Jan 2024 15:35:36
Chi - collins, 1st rd pick GS, 2nd rd pick utah

Gs - vucevic

Uta - wiggins

Bulls add needed power forward while let drummond play his minutes

Gs add an offensive big that they really need

Wiggins has another chance to flourish in utah

05 Jan 2024 21:56:58
Chi - paul, Kuminga

Gs - vucevic, carter, craig

Throw in picks if needed

Chi - ben simmons, sharpe, 2 picks, 2 swaps

Bkn- lavine

Bulls better without lavine and vooch

Paul Dosumnu ball
White caruso
Derozan williams
Kuminga simmons
Drummond sharpe

05 Jan 2024 20:42:58
LAL gets Derozen, Williams, Carter, POR 1st and 2 seconds

CHI gets: LeBron James and Reddish

Bulls

White (Ball) / Dosumu
Lavine/ Reddish
Caruso/ Terry
James/ Craig
Vucevic/ Drummond.

1) Pacers-Cleveland-Bulls
Pacers:Caruso+Mobley

30 Dec 2023 14:18:49
Cleveland won't trade Mobley, and if they did they'd get more.

30 Dec 2023 16:11:21
Yup that offer for Mobley can be easily beaten by the Thunder or Spurs.
