N.O.R.E. wrote:With the latest news re Jabari, what do you fellow armchair GM's think about the following deal (which includes the Wall to NY nonsense) :
Bulls give: Jabari, 2nd
Receive: protected '19 NYK 1st (let's say top 8-10), C. Lee, L. Thomas
The Bulls take on salary for a 1st. Lance Thomas is only partially guaranteed and Lee should be easily movable. We also help feed the KD to Knicks pipe dream...
Wiz give: Wall, Porter, Markieff
Receive: Frank, Jabari (EC), Skal, Hezonja (EC), Z bo (EC - cut), Bulls 2nd
The Wiz slash $50 million off the books going forward and add a young defensive guard who hopefully would be part of the core alongside Beal going forward. Ironically the Wiz could talk themselves into a KD come home pipe dream with newfound flexibility...
Knicks give: Frank, '19 top 8-10 protected 1st, Hezonja, C. Lee, L. Thomas
Receive: John Wall, J. Jackson, Markieff Morris (EC)
The Knicks land a star at a fairly low price asset-wise. They also pick up a cheap wing to take a look at along with a vet who provides fake hustle and muscle on an expiring deal. With Wall, KP and *Knox (*or star player acquired for package based around he and perhaps timmy hardaway, who's value is decent atm).
Kings give: Skal, Jackson, cash, Z bo, Shump
Receive: Otto Porter
Kings gain a starter on a huge contract who could be a decent contributor for a playoff push. They also cut the glut up front somewhat...
I think the Kings need to compensate the Wizards with an extra pick. But in my view the Wizards should only trade Wall and keep Porter. We definitely haven't seen the best of Porter yet.
