Trade ideas

ok, I'm feeling ready to believe this is real smoke. I'm sure yall have already tried to figure out the most likely destinations. Can anyone recap, pls?
Golden State makes the most sense to me. Combine him w/ Olynyk to the Warriors for CP3/Moody.
 
JC out at least two weeks with a hamstring strain... puts him right about the date he can be traded... hmmmmm
It’s increasingly clear we’re going for the hard tank. Makes sense. Imagine we’ll tank this season and next and then start to make moves in 26/27.

My guess is they already have an extension framework with Lauri all but agreed to or he’s gone at trade deadline. Likely the former.
 
I’m not sure if Clarkson could net us a first. Maybe a protected first if we take expiring contracts or bad salary?

Anyways here are some of my ideas:

Clarkson to Philadelphia for Marcus Morris, Furkan Korkmaz and a protected first

Clarkson to New York for Evan Fournier and a protected first

Clarkson and Olynyk to Miami for Kyle Lowry, Caleb Martin and a protected first

Clarkson to OKC for Bertans and our first back

Clarkson to Dallas for Tim Hardaway Jr and a protected first

Clarkson to Houston for Jeff Green, Victor Oladipo and a protected first

Clarkson to Golden State for Chris Paul and a protected first

Thoughts?

If these were all on the table, I’d prefer the THJ deal (they wouldn’t do it) or CP3. I believe those two guys are the most likely to be able to be parlayed into something else later.

Paul is non-guaranteed next year. We’d likely just buy him out.
 
Man, Colby White has been balling out lately.

Wonder how that impacts what the Bulls are doing.
Knowing AK, Bulls probably won't blow it up completely but rather re-structure the team with a soft tank, if possible. The worst would be for them to not trade Zach. He is not the #1 option of great team, but in that team he will always act like it,hurting the winning. And DeRozan is too slow for their future brand.

My prediction … Collins and Clarkson for Lavine and Carter or Ayo.

DA doing a yankee swap. We may add the worst of our 2025 picks.

Sell your dad’s heirloom watch to have more cash flow. Spend the money on junk food. It’s okay though because we’ve got lotsa money. For now, at least. It’s okay to draft three rookies that we can’t play. What’s the harm? We’ve got tons of picks. Maybe DA can start giving out first rounders as Christmas bonuses the way DL did second rounders.
 
I dont get the Collins hate. He hustles a lot and moves more on the court than just about anyone on our team. He rebounds pretty well, plays decent defense when he isnt put at center, he shoots threes at a decent clip, and is an all around solid starter. He isnt going to be all-star so if that was your expectation I could see disappointment. He is a great fit with Lauri because he can space the floor and doesnt require the ball too much, along with defense and rebounding. Could we upgrade him? Sure. Should the rookie start over him? No, he can still get plenty of time off the bench and if he surpasses him, great go ahead and start him then and let Collins be a solid guy off the bench.
