Re: Trade Thread 2: Make your offers here
I put this in another thread but..
Niko and Jerian
for
Stanley Johnson, contract to make things work, protected first
...makes a lot of sense for both sides.
Pistons get Niko for 2 playoff runs on a good contract and a solid depth guard in Jerian Grant.
Bulls get a young player who has a lot of potential but hasn't quite clicked (shades of Kris Dunn?) and a nice asset in a first.

Re: Trade Thread 2: Make your offers here
Rolo is the guy I would definitely move if I am the Bulls, but I'm not sure who would take him.
If the Bulls are still positioning themselves to get the best possible pick come the draft (which they should, lets finish this tank the right way), Rolo is a no brainer to be moved. Quietly, he means a ton in these games that we win on both ends of the floor. If you could get an asset for him and Grant or Holiday you do that all day. Play Felicio (I know, he's sucked) Bobby Portis and maybe some bum we would get back in a Rolo or Niko deal at the 5 for the rest of the year.

I feel like it would be huge for GS to have RoLo instead of Zaza. But I don't know, that would make too much sense, I just assume we are going to get low balled, and honestly any players on GS that could match salaries for RoLo are too valuable to give up.

Awful deal for Chicago. If we are making a trade for a player I want one that is proven good, around the same age or younger and plays a different position.

Niko is on a 1 plus 1 (team option) deal and he has many flaws. Not much time. Maybe we should tone down what the return would be?
I mean, I hope you're right, but I don't think Niko is getting back more than a first and a lotto ticket.

What are Niko's many flaws that have been on display this season?
If the Bulls are some clock it is self-conflicted.

People are still judging on the previous years Niko, but we are evualting his current value. Let's see :
Mirotic is a player averaging 25,1/10 per 36, currently ranked 15 in PER (just ahead of Jimmy Butler) with only 25 MPG.
And we want to trade him against stanley johnson ?
let's give them our first pick this year while we are at it...He will average 18/7/2 in any team if he's in the first unit.

Re: Trade Thread 2: Make your offers here
My reasoning for trading Niko is that I don't think he wants to be a back-up much longer and they haven't even tried to experiment with him in the starting line-up this year because they like his scoring off the bench. I think he will eventually get fed up if we try to keep him so why not maximize a return.
I think our best trade partners would be Detroit or Washington. Not sure what we would get from either team but those two teams really could benefit from a Niko trade and I think we might be able to nab something valuable from them such as a young project and a first.

Yes these ideas are torturing me. I swear it's the equivalent of us offering Grant and zip along with Miami's pick to golden State for klay.
We get klay for a couple of playoff runs and They get two projects and a crappy pick.
I only hope that garpax is not taking crap offers serious.
If niko is unhappy, fine, he seems to play better when unhappy so fk him.

Tried it with trade machine. Regarding contracts the way to put it is:
Niko
for
Johnson, Marjanovic and a pick

Bulls don't need Johnson, another limited offensive player on the perimeter.

I know i'm being repetitive here but its a slow work day, so I can't help myself.
But my initial thought is that the trade checker should approve that and throw in a * on the bottom that says
*how many blowjobs are detroit sending to garpax in addition to that?

Re: Trade Thread 2: Make your offers here
Per Steve Kyler:
https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2018/01/kylers-latest-jordan-kings-mirotic-whiteside.html
Kyler hears that Nikola Mirotic‘s camp is pushing for the Bulls to pick up the forward’s $12.5MM team option for 2018/19. Until that team option is exercised, Mirotic has the ability to block a trade, giving him some leverage if Chicago wants to complete a deal. League sources tell Kyler that the Bulls have “gotten pretty far down the road” in talks with the Jazz and Pistons about Mirotic.

IF the bulls are willing to take back some bad money i would do the following....
Cavs get: Mirotic & Holiday
Bulls get: Tristan Thomas and the right to swap their own pick for the Brooklyn pick.

Seems counter intuitive that Mirotic's camp would be pushing for option pick-up. If I were him, I'd be pushing to be UFA.
In same article:
There’s “growing talk” around the NBA that the Heat would be open to the idea of moving Hassan Whiteside for the right mix of contracts and young players, Kyler writes. The Bucks and Cavaliers, both on the lookout for a center, would be obvious suitors, but it would tough for either team to make a deal, given Whiteside’s large cap hit ($23.78MM). John Henson, Mirza Teletovic, Tristan Thompson, and Iman Shumpert are among the players whose contracts might have to be included for Milwaukee or Cleveland to make a deal work, which doesn’t sound overly appealing for Miami.
Seems odd, but I'd consider Whiteside for Felicio, Lopez and our 1st. At that point, I think we'd be rebuilt and would still have Niko. Line-ups might require experimenting, but it could be good enough to get out of the east.

Johnson is garbage
There pick will be 20 if we give them Niko
Your trade stinks.

Re: Trade Thread 2: Make your offers here
bulls #1, grant + ? to Orlando
fournier, Vucevic, Payton to chicago
clears massive salary for them (35+) and provides a 2nd lottery pick in great draft class.
we cover all 3 gaps with starterrs or quality backups at SF/PG/C and we are ready for 2018 fully loaded.

Whiteside is good, but I don't want to give up our pick for him.
