Fake Trade Thread #5

[luciano-davidwesley]

This reminds me of this classic from 2020 posted on a San Antonio fan site.

In 2020 they proposed we trade pick #3 (which turned into LaMelo) and Batum for LaMarcus Aldridge and #11

Your treasure for our trash one-sided proposals will never change

Should've dropped that trade idea in the trash where it belongs

[Liver_Pooty]

Lol we trading for 2002 kobe bryant or what

[amcoolio]

Gordon + Terry + Martin for Lonzo + LaVine works.

I think 1 1st round pick from us evens the value. Chicago saves a lot of money and we get the best player.

Yeah, that's the trade, and I don't think we need to add a 1st because of Lonzo's extreme negative value. I think Lavine is the big splash last ditch Mitch effort

[JustBuzzin]

Yeah Lavine only happens if we are willing to take on Lonzo contract.

I went with the assumption that Martin's knees are also done. He's cheap but under contract another year after Lonzo expires.

But yeah, maybe a 2nd round pick or two instead of a 1st.

Gordon and Terry should both be tradable to get Chicago more stuff too. Terry makes half of LaVines money yet puts up similar stats.

[Muzbar]

Bulls fan coming in peace.

I don't think Lonzo needs to be included in a deal for LaVine.

What would be a deal that you guys would do (obviously Williams and Miller are off the table).

Some Bulls fans are a bit optimistic on what Zach would return, I'm... not so much.

the "good" players will be Rozier and/or Hayward unless Miles has indicated he's not intending to stay.

i honestly dont see Charlotte offering much, I dont think Mitch ever does

[Goodecharlotte]

Gordon, Terry, Martin & PJ are all on the table, only players who aren't are Lamelo, Mark, Brandon & Miles

[bravor]

Says who ? first PJ is on a very team friendly contract (goes down through the years and that's probably the best contract in the full roster besides Miller & williams and their rookie contracts) and anyway he's not tradable before january.

I highly doubt the FO will make him available baring something they can't refuse because of the upgrade (like Tate + Eason for PJ + filler which is less likely than seeing an alien as next president of the US).

The main issue was, is and will be (baring some good news) Rozier. Even Hayward should be kept untill a really good offer (decent 1st) is on the table. If not, franchises interested can gamble between themselves in the FA market.

[Goodecharlotte]

Says me I'm fed up of mediocrity to just keep being dumped on. We need to do SOMETHING

[JMAC3]

Sam Amico is the one who posted the trade rumor of us being very interested in Lavine. Not saying it can't be true, but that guy is an awful source of information 95% of the time.

Lavine at a certain price point makes sense because he is talented, but he also isn't really a natural fit for our roster so he is not a must get for us. We are probably better off waiting until the next guy or 2 become available.

Miami is probably offering 2 firsts and Lowry pretty easily or same with Philly. So unless we are ready to give up that much in value this is probably just not the right idea to start putting a ton of brain power towards.

[MPM]

Yeah - Zach Lavine isn't the answer if the question is how do we get better. Every year for the last four years, his 3pt % has declined as well as his assist rate. He's 28, has been reliant on athleticism for a good part of his career, and has an unholy contract.

So - 28 year old defensively meh guy reliant on athleticism is steadily faring worse in areas athletic vets need to get better in as they age and is strapped to a money bomb.

Not for me, kiddos.

[Goodecharlotte]

I'm necessarily saying trade for Lavine but asking the price by all means. Something needs to happen if not before the trade deadline then certainly next off season. First start with a new gm I'm tired and bored of our sleeping gm. Then look at the coach because I'm sure he's not getting the best out of our current roster

[KingCat]

How much better is Lavine than Terry? Im not sure why he is disgruntled in Chicago, but I highly doubt he will find further enjoyment in Charlotte. Terry has been nothing but a professional for us and the closest thing we have to a leader.

[Liver_Pooty]

If we're getting anyone from Chicago it needs to be Caruso.

I read that neither Miami nor Philly have interest in LaVine at this time. But I don't have that link handy.

But LaVine is not the guy in CHI you should go after. You guys should try to grab DeRozan. Won't cost as much and gives you the same scoring boost. Gordon and a 1st probably gets it done.

This is an awful trade for Charlotte.

LaVine is not bringing that much in return anymore.

[LofJ]

If we trade for someone they need to shore up some of our weaknesses. Lavine doesn't do that, and costs almost twice as much as Rozier for slightly better production.

A guy like Caruso or Delon Wright would both be better trade targets. But if we're going for a big trade OG Anunoby should be near the top of our list.

[yosemiteben]

I don't know why Chicago would include Lonzo in a Lavine trade and bring down the potential return they could get for him.

If Chicago is moving Lavine, I have to assume they are rebuilding, in which case I don't get why Gordo or Terry would be very interesting to them.
