Chicago & Dallas: Midseason Trade

[drosestruts]

Bulls in: Chandler Parsons

Mavs in: Pau Gasol, Mike Dunleavy Jr and Cameron Bairstow


Bulls:

Rose/Moore/Brooks
Butler/Snell/Hinrich
Parsons/McDermott
Mirotic/Gibson
Noah/Gibson

Bulls add a wing player that compliments their lineup in exchange for some of their big man depth.


Mavs:

Williams/Berrea
Matthews/Harris
Dunleavy Jr./Evans
Dirk/Powell
Gasol/Pachulia

Gasol gives the Mavs a big-man that can serve as an offensive threat for them. Pachulia and Powell are decent hustle guys but with Gasol their offensive could be elite with all of their spacing and options.

Dallas... already AGED and at best a 7 seed.. gets OLDER and not better? Yeah.. I am SURE that's the plan.

Actually - I'd do this as a Mavs fan - or at worst be okay with it if Dallas made the move.. Chandler isn't making us young - Pau makes us slightly better this year. I think Parsons is a really good player but I don't see him being the face of the Mavs in two years. The defense would clearly be rough though..

But - using the extra salary we'd be able to fit in this deal, I'd call a lot of teams trying to get a wing for a 2nd.. Or offer more value if the guy is worth it..

Martin for two seconds?
Henderson for a second?
Turner for a second?

Just something to add to it. But I'm all-in on this whole be the best for the last two years of Dirk as possible.. And I think Pau+Dunleavy+Henderson would do more for that vs just Parsons. We have to be very short sighted without damaging the future ala Billy King.. I think this move fits that. Powell would get to play more four and be on the court less, Zaza would play against second units and look better, and CV would only see the court in meaningless minutes.

Pau and Dirk playing together would be a real treat offensively. I have mixed feelings about it, but Jay raises a lot of good points. I don't mind Parsons being here long term, but paying him a ton of money moving forward doesn't really excite me. He really needs to be a team's 3rd or 4th best player.

If we could do as Jay suggests and bring in another decent wing I'd agree we get better for this year.

I feel like Dallas should get at least the Sac pick out of this deal.

You realize Parson hasnt done squat this yr right? This trade would actually help them more than hoping parson recovers to any semblance of his old self

I do believe the Mavs should try and trade Parsons and get someone who fits the mold of a Shawn Marion as that works best with Dirk, but clearly this is not that trade. Mavs would pass easily.
