Of all the realistic names mentioned, I think Caruso is the one who really moves the needle. A game-wrecker defensively, is shooting 40% from 3, fills a huge need, on a great contract, a proven playoff rotation guy with championship pedigree, won't take any touches from our stars....he just ticks all the boxes.

Khris's injury doesn't look too bad? Sorry I'm prob well behind the 8 ball here but looks like it won't be a long-term issue.

Feel free to blame me/this post in 6 weeks when Khris still isn't playing.

Didn't look too bad but the walking boot and crutches suggest it wasn't a small thing. Precautionary perhaps. The initial injury report should be out in the next hour, we'll at least have a clue. And the fact nothing has been leaked to Shams suggests it wasn't anything serious, the MRI would have been done earlier today.

[DingleJerry]

Semi serious suggestion that would never happen but would be an epic **** show if it did:

Dame for Trae.

Change my mind.

I would do it...lol.

Just age/asset wise its really not crazy at all.

Personally I dislike Trae and my guess is he's a minor locker room issue type guy but age/contract etc all that work in his favor.

I'd actually guess Atlanta would say No as they're not really a title team even with it so might as well keep the younger guy for later

And he slipped on a wet spot on the floor…

And he tore the hamstring off the bone in the off season…

We aren’t talking about those injuries. We’re talking about this one

No, no, we're talking about those injuries too.

But slipping on the floor and shredding his hamstring are different references to the same injury.

What makes you say he's unrealistic? Do you think the Bulls are reluctant to move him full stop? Price too high? Outbid by someone else?

He seems an obvious fit here compared to elsewhere, and between Bobby/Marjon/AJJ/Pat/Cam/picks I don't think it's crazy at all to think we have enough juice.

The only valid cause for concern on Middleton's health is whether he has a degenerative/arthritic knee, which is a major concern and none of this other stuff needs to be a part of the conversation. Landing on someone's foot and turning your ankle is like the modal basketball injury, it happens to literally everybody.

Since when did realistic names become a thing on this board? Trading KM and Brook are realistic? 95% of the proposals on this board are unrealistic, because Horst would never do them (thankfully) or the other GM wouldn't do them (not too many of those proposals).

I agree Caruso is unrealistic for the Bucks (but definitely more realistic than trading KM or Brook), but he also happens to be the best fit. And by all accounts the Bulls will trade him either now or during the offseason.

Horst probably already did this, but I would empty the cupboard and offer the Bulls (probably need a third team) BP, PC, the high second pick, and every young player on the roster (Marjon, AJ, AJJ). The Bulls can keep the young players and give another team the vets and get a first for them (yes, BP will get a first in return).

[-Jragon-]

If we get DFS and Williams then one useful buyout guy the league will be in fear.. it doesn't matter who we give up between MB, PC, BP, KM, ... I'd like to keep the AJs though.. thats probably the holdup.. people want the AJs added in we're like.. can I interest you in a Rolo instead?

not only are the bulls buyers not sellers. But if they were to put Caruso on the market he would be the number one trade target out there. We would get blown out of the water in a bidding war

You're not wrong but neither is Shaffty. The Bulls don't want to trade Caruso and they're not going to unless they're bowled over. They are the 9th seed and they love it.

i am ALL FOR unrealistic musing over trades but if you start a sentence with 'the most realistic option' and then list the guy we could never trade for im gunna laugh

[JonHeist]

As long as Dame and Giannis can consistently combine for 60ppg on 60%ts we'll win the 'chip this year

would be nice to get better on defense, but this team absolutely has a path to the title as is

We don’t have any first round picks, while other teams have multiple. We also don’t have the young talent to make up for the aforementioned lack of picks.

That's disappointing. I sort of assumed he was on the market given how often his name has been thrown out there.

But I really don't think there are *that* many teams though that have both an obvious need for him AND have *expendable* assets that could realistically be enough for him (assuming he's made available).

That's not really true, is it? We have more young talent now that would appeal to teams then we've had in awhile between MB and the AJs. We all want them to play and they have a fine chance to develop. You see Merril and Grayson getting burn.. AJG is in that mold and AJJ is on track to be a rotation guy maybe immediately for some teams with ceiling still there.

[-Jragon-]

More the concern is trying to keep our young talent but not that we don't have it.
