Coby White

Most didn’t believe Curry/Thompson nor CJ/Dame would ever work out, but both respective teams took their time developing those duos & it paid off. White & LaVine can absolutely be a duo going forward. The defense can come eventually, both have good size & lateral movement. I’m not saying it will work, im saying the quarter they played together two nights ago produced one of if not the most productive quarter that the Bulls have had all year. Let them run together & see what happens, and in the meantime, start shopping for a new GM/coach

CJ/Dame don't really work tho, that's never been an ideal back court and it's why they've always disappointed in the POs

not sure who didn't believe Steph/Klay wouldn't work, they are like the perfect back court fit on both sides of the court.

Most people said the warriors were nuts for building around two non defending non passing three pt specialists, one of whom was severely injury prone. They eventually improved in those areas, and their rise was absolutely singular & miraculous, and likely not to be repeated, but regardless; the way GS built around them is a good blueprint for the Bulls to go off of with White & Lavine

McCollum & Lillard worked like Jordan & Pippen from the perspective of a current Bulls fan. They actually put on exciting performances, made the playoffs, and put butts in seats. That’s more than we’ve had since Mike & Scottie. The idea of Lavine/White even coming remotely close to CJ/Dame type excitement & chemistry is music to Bulls fans’ ears

Coby obviously has dynamite potential as a shot creator. But I don't believe in him as a PG long term, nor the Lavine/White combo. Doesn't mean I want to trade either, but right now I envision White as the 3rd guard and we go snag ourselves a good PG, because good PG play is what we've really been missing this season.

Should we give him a chance to work things out by starting at PG the rest of the season? Maybe it has it's benefits. But I'm also considerate of the fact that having two high volume, shoot first guys in the the back-court with minimal playmaking ability will be a detriment to everyone else's development on the roster.

^ i'd trade Lavine and keep White as a combo guard next to a the PG i draft

I'm a Lavine fan so I'm, generally speaking, against trading him. But, for instance, seen a few people talk about throwing the house at Simmons if Philly broke it up, Lauri+Lavine+1st(s), and maybe in that scenario that makes sense

Ideally in this class who would you put next to Coby and would that player be worth LaVine?

figure Hali would be the pick. Zach worth an additional first?

ill go with a yes, not a very big LaVine guy, dont particular think hes a + asset on that contract

Hali's a great fit with our pieces. I think I prefer someone like Hayes overall as a prospect for PG though. Hali might be a better enough fit for me to take him over Anthony for PG, though.

I like haliburton, but doesn’t he have a serious injury history? If so, no thanks

Lavine is literally the only player on the Bulls with superstar potential & the lone reason for any wins they have this year

The Bulls aren’t developing anyone right now, they’re clearly tanking. So starting white & Lavine & seeing if there is mineable potential there is the only constructive option for the rest Chicago’s season

Can this happen? This is a great trade.

Sixers will need more than that to move Simmons

This is the 6ers we’re talking about here. They’ve executed some of the dumbest, most lopsided trades of the past few years. Their GM isn’t a glorified marionette puppet stooge. It’s not outside the realm of possibility

I’ve wanted Ben on the Bulls for a long time. (Also was clamoring for Ingram when everyone was so low on him. Chicago could have easily pulled off that trade)

I think a package centred around Zach could grab Phillys attention. However, I’m much higher on C.white than some people (I’m high on a few of Chicago’s youngsters: white, Hutchison, markkanen, gafford, mokoka. I’m Of The opinion that, with a real coaching system in place, these kids would be doing worlds better). I think Cobi is going to be everything we thought Starbury was going to be but wasn’t, and I think he can be McCollum with defense. Im also concerned about Simmons’s injuries, but I don’t follow philly closely enough to come to an educated assertion on the matter

Good golly, is this kid on fire or what? And zero turnovers last night! His FT shooting has been stellar as well. He is going to be so good, people aren’t stressing this enough

If we’re going off of this past summer, Sacramento is super high on Zach. Given the fact that he’s broken out this yr, one would assume they’re even higher on him than before. If they were to offer the Bulls a package for him, what would you accept?

that would be an awkward trade anyways because you'd at least be trading away Lavine, Carter, Lauri and maybe the pick (Philly would probably ask for the top 7 pick or Coby on top as well)...so you'd get Ben and pair him with who exactly?

in that case, I'd rather find another take for Lavine and build around Coby, Carter, Lauri and another top 7 pick. maybe they can add Deni to that core and take it from there.

I personally want WCJ gone, he’s not good & I don’t think he’ll ever be a star.

If we were to consider the trading LaVine (and possibly WCJ) to Sacramento, what would you accept from them if you were Chicago?
