Bulls' Fan-? on Thompson/Landry

pipfan · Post #1 » by **pipfan** » Thu Mar 5, 2015 4:57 pm

I think a relatively fair trade is

Taj and the Sac pick back for Landry or Thompson and the #7

Sac gets a great fit at PF with Cousins and their pick back-you all will surely give it up next year with Karl on board-probably 11-14

Bulls take Stein and get a 4th big

My question is-would we want Thompson or Landry? Which player is better (for us or for you?)

I assume it's Landry, since Thompson can play the 4 or 5

Thanks

As far as who the Kings would want to keep I think it is now Thompson based off Karl's system and current rotations. We could have Gibson start at PF and Thompson back PF/C behind Gibson and Cousins. I agree that we'll likely have to relinquish first rounder owed to Bulls next year regardless so really its front office value of players in this years draft. If they aren't enthused by anyone at #7 I could see this as draft day trade. #7 & Landry for Gibson. Would the Bulls be willing to include #21? They move up 14 slots and swap Gibson for Landry. Plus Landry makes $1.5 million less per year than Gibson.

I don't think Sac can get the Bulls pick and their pick back-they could choose (I would guess they want their pick back)

I'd rather the Kings draft Cauley-Stien at #7.

Would old Gibson even be someone Karl would want in his system?

Yeah I was surprised to see that Taj is ganna be 30 next season.

He is a young 30-came into the league at 24 and has never played big minutes. He will age just fine

Guys, the Kings need to be adding players between 28-34 right now. Those are the players that are developed and ready to win. Jeez, look at how much everybody is creaming over 40 year old Andre Miller!

As for the deal, it's seems fair, considering the value of the Kings current PF rotation around the league. I'm not sure what the deal is with Landry right now. Are they showcasing JT, or does Karl just hate Landry? Landry sure seems pretty happy on the bench for sitting under a coach that just simply hates his guts. Landry would be better for the Bulls though and it would give them legit scoring punch off the bench. The concern I have about this type of deal is the difference in Landry and Gibsons salary. That eats into the Kings cap space this summer.

It all depends on who would be there at the Kings pick but there are very few picks, if any, in this draft that will help get the Kings to where they want to be. And don't forget, they better get there quick or be well on their way before Cuz' deal is up. They can't wait on young developing big men or otherwise. Keeping the pick because it has some decent talent attached to it is not an option for Pete this summer. It's time to be aggressive even if it means giving up on potential. Keeping the potential and watching Cousins walk is the other option and there isn't a single player in this draft worth that going down. If the Kings don't end up relinquishing the pick then calling it even on that pick with the Bulls still seems like the best option if for nothing more than to free up a future 1st in another trade later on. The Kings have really been stuck since that terrible deal Petrie put together considering how little they used Hickson.

Running out of time here Bulls, Thompson is cheap after next season 2.65 guarantee, and Landry will only have next season and the year after...

If I don't think we can build a complete stable roster with him as the last piece to make a serious playoffs push..

No thanks.

So it would be Landry to you...

Pick for you this season, then return of our pick.

And I'm not sure I want to do that any more, its looking like we need more time anyways. Should have done it at the deadline.

I'm thinking we bite the bullet on the Jarl Thompandry nightmare one more season, see what we can do when they are expiring contracts after next season, and try to stabilize next season and keep our prospects.

I think we probably need one more season as much as we all don't want to.

I'm on record, Cauley-Stien. I started that wagon last year. There is a reason Bulls fan would take Landry and Thompson to get Cauley-Stien, he can be that good.

I'll give you the pick and Landry for Nikola Mirotic, but that's it.

I'll do this trade for Noah but not Gibson. Rather just keep the pick if its for a guy on Gibson's level.

I like him as well but right now he looks like a poor mans Tyson Chandler to me that could develop into a Chandler type of player down the line. He's going to have to physically develop for at least a year or two. He'd help, but for the next 2-3 years there are very few answers in this draft that will save this team from losing Cousins. This franchise is going into the same danger zone the Blazers did a few years back with LA. Time to get the show on the road. They did but just in the nick of time.

You have to realize the Kings PF combo has less than zero value. Add that to this being a weak draft that no GM is buying in on and you have the reality that you take what you can get.

I don't want to disrupt the discussion going on in the trade thread by merging this with it, but for future, this stuff belongs in the trade thread we have going which is almost always near the top.
