No... it would be straight up or we get something. It could also be JC and NAW. Maybe a Bogey for Ball and a pick... IDK.
Because Lonzo is 24 years old and really ****ing good.
And I wouldn’t touch the idea of going after him if I was doing anything but tanking and taking on bad/risky money.
I think you are smoking some gas if you think the Jazz could get Ball and a pick for Bogey. It would be Bogey and a pick for Ball.
There has to be concern that he is going to end up like Brandon Roy here... If Bulls are confident then they won't do the deal. Him taking a year to get healthy would be great for us... pretty devastating for Bulls who are lowkey a win now team.
Depending on which first it was, I would give up Conley and a first for Ball, no question.
Vando alone for a 1st is just fine. Bogey for a first is just fine. Taking on Westbrooks salary for a first is fine. Clarkson for a late first is fine. Beasley for a 1st is fine.
Yeah, if we were giving them back a player who was relatively in his prime on a long-term fair deal, then a swap would make sense. The Bulls give up high end value for more guaranteed value, but that isnt the case with any of our available players (other than maybe Clarkson, but Clarkson also kind of sucks and isnt near close to Ball's value).
It ain’t low key. Their path to improvement doesn’t really include trading picks so they’re constrained in their options.
If you can steal Lonzo for Conley and the Nets pick, you do that all day. Probably would cost more though. Honestly though, Lonzo covers some of Sexton's liabilities and would be nice to have a good defensive guard w/ size.
Nah... if Ball is broken you have him for 3/70M of dead money. If he gets healthy he opts out at the end of next year and gets a raise. The reports around Lonzo are troubling. I think he may be bone on bone on that knee the way they talk. I like him a lot... I'd be scared he never stays healthy.
I wouldn’t. But I’d take the money and return them a really good point guard on a shorter and more flexible deal.
