Bulls/Hornets 

Post#1 » by Astaluego » Mon Mar 31, 2025 9:11 am

BULLS
In:M.Bridges
Out:Lonzo/P.Williams+Blazers FRP

Vuc/Collins
Buzelis/Smith
Bridges/Huerter
White/Ayo
Giddey/Tre?

Bulls building from trade, get another starting-caliber piece, just entering his prime.. short- and long-term savings


HORNETS
In:P.Williams/Lonzo/Blazers FRP
Out:M.Bridges

They get another FRP and a local prospect, who fits better in the timeline, .. Lonzo besides being a good presence next to Lamelo (I suppose), would fit very well on the court

Yeah I'd want 2 firsts just for taking Patrick Williams. No thanks.

Unless they're moving salary and taking major steps back I can't see CHA being interested. That PORT pick is still a maybe, the Blazers would have to leapfrog 3 teams to get themselves out of the lottery this year and who knows what off season moves they have in mind or of they work. Williams is no longer a prospect, he either gets consistent playing time in a defined offensive role or he's not going to do more. I don;t think Lonzo or LaMelo care as much about having the same employer as so many fans do. They're adult men they love their brothers but they don't need to prove anything to anybody being on the same team. aside from that Lonzo is perfect for a team o the way up and if CHA id trading Bridges they aren't aiming higher quickly.

I like Bridges, I thought he and Williams would have made a great pair. Now that Buzelis is the starter, if he adds weight and strength he and Bridges with Williams behind them would be a great front line rotation for a long stretch as they're all signed that would match with White, Giddey, Ball in the back.

I'd personally decline. Bridges is not someone I'd want to build around or give up assets for.

Must have missed the part where Bulls were including assets.

Are draft picks not assets? My bad

If I’m the Bulls I’m not making a move for Bridges. Not at a point where paying a first to get off PWill should be an option. They are playing well. If Vuc can be moved for draft capital do that. If Lonzo stays healthy next season I think he can bring back value.

Keep him, don't want him on the Bulls.

Shouldn't be on any teams.

we already have so many clones of Patrick Williams on the wings, all of whom are cheaper. We need less of those not more.

Having two Balls is nice.

Having two injured Balls would cripple anyone.

The Bulls don’t generally take low-character guys on their team.
