If it's only inside-out, Hardy can play as Brandon Williams backup. DFS has opted out from LA by the way.

They want a pay raise to offset that CA state tax.

And they know the new owner is loaded so they want a slice.

What do the Bulls want ?

Darren · Post #1385 » by **Darren** » Sat Jun 28, 2025 1:26 pm

PJ, Klay, 1st for White, Ball, 2nd, is it enough ?

arkuo · Post #1386 » by **arkuo** » Sat Jun 28, 2025 3:07 pm

Bulls just traded Lonzo to Cleveland for Okoro.

That leaves Coby White.

Some kind of package around Gafford and someone else could get it done probably but with that being said.....

I'm also not sure how Mavs would be able to keep White if they trade for him. Sure, some players on good salaries would need to go, but then again, you decimate a deep bench for 1 guy who you will have to rely to pick up the all around role? Is White really that type of player?

If reports are true, he will also demand around 40M+ next season. Kyrie at 40M, White at 40M and AD at around 60M... What kind of weird ass core is that with Flagg??

I'm not sold....Much rather keep current roster intact plus bench. Just sign someone with TMLE and call it a day.

Ball just got traded for Okoro, should show you that he has zero value. Enough

Drama in Hollywood, LeBron with cryptic message of asking out and DFS opts out!
Looks like LeBron could be had...

Nah, I have no interest in bailing LAL out once again.

Lebron and that $52M contract is what's turning off a lot of people. I mean, if Nico really wanted a 3rd maxed out star, Kevin Durant would have been a way better fit being 3 years younger than Bron, no?

But LBJ for the vet minimum is a no brainer. Even if it means making space for Bronny.

KD costs a lot, LeBron is for free...

Yo wait. I had to check the news. Didn't he just re-sign in LA for $52M? So we need to come up with $52M in multiple contracts to trade for him?

Klay has to be included IMO. Since that's what his dad desperately wants.

I don't know. Gafford, PJ, Klay and Martin. Beyond that, I am not very interested. But yes, with Lebron, you can spend on SG or C instead.

Darren · Post #1396 » by **Darren** » Mon Jun 30, 2025 5:55 am

Lebron runs the PG significantly better than DoLo. And with the connection with AD and Kyrie, 8t works.

Be careful what you wish for, guys..

Darren · Post #1398 » by **Darren** » Mon Jun 30, 2025 5:56 am

You can actually 0ut Hardy, Christie or Brandon Williams on the floor with Lebron.

Maverick41 · Post #1399 » by **Maverick41** » Mon Jun 30, 2025 7:06 am

Read on Twitter

Stein's saying we're looking at dumping Omax to make room for Exum after likely signing D'Lo.

I'd rather dump Powell or Hardy but would think Nico doesn't want to because he doesn't want to give up additional assets (likely a SRP or 2). We don't have much to begin with since Nico just gives them away like candy.
