Milwaukee - Sacramento - Chicago 

Post#1 » by Godaddycurse » Sun May 18, 2025 6:05 pm

Milwaukee trade: Kuzma, Portis, Connaughton, future 2nd(s)
MIlwaukee receive: Derozan, Smith, JV

Chicago trade: Williams, Smith, future 2nd(s)
Chicago receive: Kuzma, Connaughton

Sacramento trade: Derozan, JV
Sacramento receive: Portis, Williams, 2nds

Why for Milwaukee: add a 2nd option for Giannis and replacements for Lopez
Why for Chicago: get out of Williams' deal
Why for Sacramento: balance out roster with a few forwards.

or would milwaukee owe a swap and get back 2nds?

As much as I'd love to trade Williams, if Kuzma is the best return I'd rather hang onto Pat for now and hope he can improve somehow. It's not really about believing in Pat, it's more about just not wanting to be in the Kuzma business at all.

The Bulls aren't forcing William on another team, they ALL know what his contract and body or work are, somebody either thinks so many around here are wrong and that he can contribute or unlike the Bulls they want to get stuck with his contract. DeRozan and Lavine played long enough with Williams, saw him during the summer, what did they tell SAC management?

I used to lie Kuzma but I'm asking why more playoff teams weren't looking for him and why with the Ginnais uncertainty are the Bucks willing to move a reasonably priced scoring big? What's Conaughton's uniform number $9.4M ? That's all he is to anybody posting a trade

As tempting as dumping Kuzma is I don’t think Derozan works with Giannis, I think I’d rather hold on to Portis since he’s a big that can stretch the floor and rebound

I think this is a trade where all fan bases will see the downsides first because of all the flawed players on the move, but good effort!

I've got MIL ending up with a shortage of 3pt shooting around Giannis (other than players at risk of getting dropped in a realistic playoff "top 8") so I have them as the first no

Kings cut out the bulls here and deal directly with Milwaukee. If we want Portis and Kuzma I think it's a deal that would work for the bucks.

Williams d al is so awful the bulls would have to send the kings the 12th pick this year to get the kings to consider the original deal.
