Fantasy trade: If Anthony Davis ever became available would you offer a Niko package for him?

This was on WT a few days ago:

His agents have not indicated it will be a slam dunk to re-sign Davis in NO. So in a fantasy trade would you offer Niko as the center piece of a package to get Davis? This would probably be 2016 at the earliest to consider this fantasy trade if Davis does realize he can become the face of the Bulls after 2016/17.

OK flame away.

Without a hint of hesitation. And I love me some Niko.

Of course. Niko + my 1st born. Get it done.

I would literally trade every player on this team for AD, no question about it, the guy is a superstar and will be for years to come. A HOF lock if he stays healthy; one you can build a whole team around.

Yeah.

Not happening though, he's going to the Lakers in 2021.

You don't think he would love to be the new face of the Bulls and relish the limelight in his hometown? We are a big market.

Quick edit: I have seen a few cases of NBA superstars forcing their way to teams. It is not uncommon anymore.

I'm giving Rose, Niko, Jimmy and Thibs for Davis. Hell they can have Benny too

I think Niko and Jimmy might get it done.

Absolutely. I've also informed my wife that she might be part of the package as well. She good...

Um, Anthony Davis is a thousand times better than anyone on this team, the next great big man, and in all likelihood will go down as a top 2 PF in NBA history. He is a top 3 player currently and superstar at a kid's age of 21. It is a rare thing for a player to be this dominant at this age.

The Bulls would gut the entire roster for this legend if he ever showed the slightest interest in coming here. No need to overrate Mirotic. He's good, but Davis is transcendent.

Not even the homerist of homers would say, "no".

If someone offers you a top 5 player, you do it.

I love niko. I think peak niko is going to be a top 10 player in the league for a few years. I probably have one of the highest opinions of him on the board. That said yes. You don't even have to think about it.

Davis is 21. He is already pushing to be the best player in the league. At worst you could say he is number 5. I honestly think you trade anyone in the league for him. Hes already extended his range, its only going to get better. His help defense is off the charts. His man D is getting better and will continue to get better. Hell he might even grow another inch. This guys potential is a rich mans david robinson.

No brainer, if AD is available you give up anything to bring him home.

Niko and Jimmy is actually a more desirable package than asking a team to swallow Rose's contract. But yeah, I'm fine with the whole team for Anthony Davis.

why doesn't the cap take a massive jump. Just dump Noah
