I think these two teams are good trading partners
A few options

1-Ayo for the #26
Bulls save $ and resign Jones-plus add a cheap talent
BRK gets a guy to start next to Cam Thomas

2-PWill/#12/Port pick for Cam Johnson
Bulls gets a huge upgrade
BRK hopes PWill comes back, and adds 2 picks

3-#12/JCarter for #20/#26
Bulls save $ to resign Jones, and add 2 picks. I really like Wolf, Beringer, Fleming at #20
BRK gets a better pick-no team needs 4 rookies

4-#12/Port pick/Vuc/Ayo (and maybe JCarter) for Claxton/Johnson
Not sure on this one

The Nets really do need to consolidate some assets at some point.

Not sure if picks #20 and #26 are enough to bring back # 12 and Ayo (he would be more interesting than JCarter).

Nets have future seconds or a number of young players that could be used as a throw in if this is light.

I could see them potentially trading Cam or Claxton for draft capital but the Nets would want no part of Williams and Vuc would better fit the timeline of a team trying to win now than the Nets so a deal involving either of those two Bulls player would need a third team to ship them off to.

20 + 26 isnt enough for 12 alone, let alone ayo

It's 20/26 for JCarter/#12

Ayo is for the #26 alone or part of a bigger deal

I have Ayo as having positive value, but not a ton due to his expiring, cheap contract (hard to extend, but a solid player)

#26 isn't even going to find 5 MPG , more than likely he's a G League guy. Ayo possibly extending or being an UFA and resigning is worth more for the next 3-5 years.
AK should be fired if he trades another pick, in the morning not the afternoon if he trades 2. Johnson ha been improving every year, but he's 29, when they move Vuc CJ would be the oldest player on the roster. What I don't want is him coming n and acting like it's hs team nor do I want him to detract from the growth of Matas who at 20 is the future. He's more of the near future with you trading 2 picks.
Again, two late picks are less likely to contribute in the next 2 seasons than #12 and the Bulls still don't have any time to play two students
I'm guessing BRK is looking to add pieces but still end up in the lottery next summer. Vuc Ayo and Carter all would be playing to win so they look attractive to winning teams for their next contract. No way BRK gives up their two major assets for expiring contracts pushing back their rebuild. Not worth two picks for the Bulls to move expiring contracts

That is about where Marks found Levert and Allen.

He drafted Nic Claxton in round two.

After the top eight guys at the top are gone it is not unreasonable to expect some GMs to want two shots at the first round instead of one.

If the Nets are giving up two first rounders and taking on a slightly positive player (Ayo) that helps the Bulls with their salary cap problems would some filler in the form of future second rounders and young prospects on the roster make it a fair trade for both teams?
