Wolves/Bulls and Nets 

Post#1 » by Astaluego » Sat Feb 8, 2025 2:05 pm

WOLVES
In:P.Williams/Lonzo Ball
Out:J.Randle/Conley/Pistons FRP lot prot

Wolves rejuvenate themselves...and lower their payroll next year...they get 2 players whose profile fits perfectly (as I understand it)

BULLS
In:Randle
Out:Williams/Lonzo/SRP

assuming that Randle will take his option. The Bulls expire Williams' contract (whom there are reports was on the block) and prepare to be players in FA 26. They get the best player in the deal whom they will try to revalue and an FRP

NETS
In:Conley/SRP
Out: Nothing

With a ton of cap space and at the beginning of the rebuild. They get a veteran PG to walk with their young prospects and get paid for it

Lonzo can’t be traded til August so don’t see teams spending their offseason waiting for this deal.

I think Randle is clearly worth more than Lonzo/P Williams, right? One is a Top 60 player, the others are highly overpaid role player and an injury prone PG.

I'm fact you have the Pistons 1st outgoing but no team receiving it?

Seems fine for the Nets and Bulls if the Bulls want to compete.

Randle doesn't make the Bulls any more competitive than they would be without him. He's basically Zach Lavine with more size and less 3pt shooting. The ball stops in his hands until the 21 second mark on the clock, then he fires up a shot or passes to someone too late to get a good shot. Williams today is coming off the bench, more active and engaged than when he couldn't get the ball from Lavine or DeRozan. there's no saying that he couldn't start again, the Bulls haven't trashed him.
