NYK - Bulls: Caruso and Grimes

[dawhizz]

We need a thread for AC Fresh on all contenders best deals

Who's in on it besides

LAL - GSW - NYK - MIL - DAL - CLE - BOS - ORL


Lakers would probably do
Gabe + 1st with options
Or
JHS & Min guy (Reddish/Hayes)

Golden State could go a few ways with it
- Moody & mins?

NY as discussed in this thread, seems to be
Grimes + the 1sts as the bulk of value

Milwaukee could offer Pat & Marjon?

Dallas kind of a similar situation as GS where they might need a 3rd team if Chi doesn't value their bigger pieces
- Hardy or Green interest Chi?

Cleveland could pop up with something around Okoro and picks

Boston would have to clear their bench of Pritchard Kornet and Brisset to make the salaries match

A team like Orlando has a lot of assets to put forth as well if they are ready for a move like this


I think it comes down to LA vs NY, and I believe the Bulls won't be able to refuse the offer with less protections and a quality prospect

Boston could do it with Stevens, Svi, and Banton if they thought a first was required by the bulls. Not three guys who are now playing 50 min a game.

My best Boston Package would be Pritchard, Kornet, Hauser, Jordan Walsh, 24 frp and a future pick swap for Caruso and bring Drummond into the Grant TPE. To balance rosters another Bull could be included in the TPE if he makes 3 million or less.

That is a lot of change for a team with the best priced in the league and seemingly good chemistry though…but adding Caruso might be worth it.
Bostons Bench plus then be Horford, Caruso, Brissett and Drummond. I think Drummond is a downgrade from Kornet but Caruso is an upgrade of PP/Hauser.

Is this enough for Chicago?
Edit: Walsh has FRP value imo with his contract. He has been showing some skills in G league and is under 20 yo.

I’d be happy with that for Chicago.

Is it an over pay? Or close to fair?

Easy pass from NY. A 1st and two 2nd’s in place of Grimes is cool with me if that’s what people are putting Grimes’ value at. He’s far more valuable to us than two 2nds.

Feels like a bit of an overpay for Boston, but maybe that’s what you have to do to get AK to actually execute a GD trade.
