Charlotte - Chicago

Charlotte trade: worst of MEM/ORL/PHX/WAS 2026 1st
Chicago trade: Smith (into exception), POR 2026 LP x3 yrs 1st

Why for Charlotte: add a big
Why for Chicago: turn a maybe 1st into an actual 1st

or maybe charlotte sends back okogie or PatC if its too good for chicago?

Calling Smith neutral at best here, but gambling a mid 20s pick on the chance that the Blazers make the playoffs at some point in the next three years (preferably as a lower seed) is an interesting proposition.

Guess it depends on how much you think Scoot/Sharpe/Deni/Clingan can accomplish as a core, and if you think Jrue/Grant can still help that cause in 2-3 years.

I'm personally not very high on this Blazers core, and would try to work Vucevic into this instead of Smith (Okogie+Connaughton matches, and Okogie doesn't actually have to be guaranteed the full amount for this to work)

Hornets have 1 roster spot remaining between Green, Okogie, and Pat C. So you'd have to bundle all three in a 3-for-1 where Charlotte adds a viable center to that last spot.

No doubt the Bulls could have moved that PORT pick by this time.The Blazers would likely squeeze into the playoffs and be 15-17 in the draft so basically you want the Bulls to give up on a young, athletic, well liked in the ocker room, productive when playing, stretch 5 to move back 4-5 slots to 19-22, don't see that as their smart move

I dont see that as likely in the western Conference
