Brooklyn & Chicago: Johnson + Bogdanovic for Williams and Giddey
Posted: Wed Jan 8, 2025 12:50 am
Brooklyn in: Patrick Williams, Josh Giddey, Chris Duarte, and Jevon Carter
Chicago in: Cameron Johnson and Bojan Bogdanovic
Nets:
Get under the tax. Add the 23 year old Williams and the 22 year old Giddey. Williams makes about ~$5 less per season than Johnson and is locked in longer. Nets could still free agent hunt with or without Giddey - if they need the salary they can just not retain him. Or sign a free agent and re-sign the 22 year old Giddey. They'll have options.
*Nets will have to cut a player or two - they have options there.
Bulls:
Add two wings that are better right now in the year 2024. Cam Johnson is pretty much what they hope Williams can be, except he's that right now. Bogdanovic if he gets healthy would be a scorer off the bench on the wing.
