I wrote this on the "Lakers trade ideas" thread on 1st July:
We need to call Chicago about Deng, I think it's a fair possibility, Clarkson+Deng+Kuzma for Wade+Payne
Ball/Payne
Wade/Hart
Ingram/Brewer
Randle/Nance
Lopez/Zubac
Dunn/Grant
Lavine/Clarkson
Valentine/Deng
Portis/Markannen/Kuzma
Lopez/Felicio
It makes so much sense for both teams, they get two more young players to develop and tank and allow Lavine to be the man without Wade, at the same time they can absorb Deng's contract because they are going nowhere in two-three years. You can even sell Loul to the fan base as he is respected there.
For us, we get DWade's massive expiring and the joy the watch him for a year and win some more games for us, I'm sure he would welcome a year in Hollywood and maybe if next year free agency goes our way, he can come back at a discount. We would even get a cheap backup PG in the process.
It's perfect, please someone send this idea to Magic/Rob.
Glad to see I'm not only one and actually Bulls fans also consider it a good idea.
Just get it done, it makes so much sense for both teams.
