Potential Trade Targets

What the hell? Didn't they just trade Quickley? That can't be right.

Many believe there will be a little two-step here.

They do need another ball handler but more for the second unit. I think they were okay with Brunson and IQ but Thibs is a little old school and would want more size. I don't think its great for them. I wonder what the price will be for Murray but I think he's for sure getting moved by the deadline.

You're going to have to explain to me how Zach LaVine is a loser but Dejounte Murray isnt.

Both players have only made the playoffs once as main pieces on a team. Dejounte got traded to a team and that team got worse (not saying it's his fault either way, but it happened).

Zach has been a central block the Bulls have built around for 6 years or so. Dejounte has been sent from one bad situation to another because he would have messed with Spurs' odds to get Wemby.

I thought that would be too obvious to have to explain, but I guess not.

It wasnt really. Cheap owner, bad coach (last year), ball hog lead guard, two non-spacing guys in high minute rotations.

Plus he was relegated to secondary ballhandling duties in an offense designed around one of the most ball dominant guards.

Him leaving made Spurs clearly worse though.

No. He was traded from SA because they saw that despite his stats (which he boosted by being a placeholder "star" in a crummy team... ball domination, bright green light etc.) he wasn't a guy they were going to build around.

Hindsight. People praised the move.

He's still getting his numbers, but the team isn't better because of it.

We can sit here and make a lot of excuses for LaVine as well. Dude was the best player on a legit team before injuries hit.

Just hilarious how we are going to label one a loser and the other as this great piece.
