Trade Thread: Armchair GMs welcomed

[Ccwatercraft]

Atlanta just waived Jaylen Adams, so Trae Young is the only PG on their roster. They are looking to sign a PG but the pickings are slim. And they have 5 SFs on their roster, including Hunter and Reddish. Is there a trade possible? Only possible player that would work for the Bulls is SF DeAndre Bembry. He is an expiring contract (end of rookie contract) at $2.6 M this year. He doesn't shoot 3's very well, but he is great at defense and can get to the rim. If we traded Dunn for Bembry, we would clear up $2.7 M in cap space to sign the UniKornet. Possible deal?

I think the Bulls would like to do better, but this may be the best they can do. I agree that Miami with Waiters is another possible angle, especially as the Heat negotiate to get Paul and/or Beal.

I saw maybe 3 or 4 ATL games this season, and Bembry certainly didn't stick out, has someone seen something that I haven't?

Dunn & Felicio for Crabbe works. Bulls take on more money this season and get much-needed wing depth that is expiring. Atlanta saves money this season, gets a backup point guard plus a year look at Dunn in their system. Felicio is just contract filler.

I can only say this: when i watched him, Crabbe actually was noticeable, so there's that.

we really do seem to want to trade Dunn. Would love to know who we get and at what position. how about Dunn to the Knicks for Nitkilina??. Both could use a change of scenery. Or how about Dunn and two second round picks and cash for Dennis Smith Jr.? Trade kind of favors us, but maybe NY would like some cash. Or how about Dunn and Hutchison and a second for Reddish. All right, I'm not as realistic in my trades as I should be. I always want us to win the trade.

If Dunn gets traded I want it to be for someone like him that has not lived up to their expectations. Getting a high upside talent at another position would be good. Probably a wing would be best.

Yeah Reddish is absolutely not happening. It’s going to be Holiday likely and that is just so weak sauce. I don’t live in a fantasy land where I believe Dunn has any value and that the FO is failing but goodness I’d rather keep Dunn than go for Holiday again. Granted he is more of need and he may look better with this new squad but he still is icky.

OK, I'm not a big fan of trading for Griffin, but saw this and scratched my head a little.

You and me both. That trade proposal hurts my brain.

[PrimzyBulls81]

One of the most stupid trades proposals I've seen all year lol

[ImSlower]

That's a great way to ruin the next couple years of Bulls basketball

[bearadonisdna]

The bulls trading for Blake would probably have to include lauri because they wouldn't start together well.

Don't know, I think the bulls are 1 star player from being able to legit make some noise.
The bulls could trade for a star guard or center tomorrow, so the narrative of not being able to acquire a star will eventually begin to look self imposed.

Bulls get Blake, Bamba and Fultz for Porter, White, Carter while shedding Dunn/Felicio and add fillers.
How is that a bad deal for Chicago?

Losing our two recent lottery picks and a productive 3 & D wing for a guy who physically can't play basketball (making nearly $10m), a lesser young centre than the one we're trading (who's yet to show anything in the nba) and a very good but not elite 30 year old. How is that a good deal?

If we're gonna throw away the past 18 months of accumulating young talent, it better be for someone a lot better than Blake Griffin.

Im a huge fan of BG Bamba but would need a sweetner.

it's amazing that everybody wants Star Players but nobody wants to give something to get them.
WC and Bamba is basically a wash after 2 injury-rookie Seasons. Then you lose Porter who may opt out which says he'll be gone or get a raise (Pretty sure thats what will happen) and White (I like him, but I'd trade him as sweetener to get rid of Felicio and Dunn). Griffin is a star and easily the best Player involved in this trade. You'd build with Lavine, Markkanen and Blake. That's a Pretty solid base to acquire the needed star Player. Even Lauri wouldn't be untouchable for me in getting a SF to Sato, Lavine, SF, Griffin, who even cares.

One of the most stupid trades proposals I've seen all year lol

The pippinainteasy site has had several really strange suggestions, for some reason it keeps popping up on my newsfeed, dam cookies. Crazy idea's or not, I still browse through them, which I guess is the point when they post semi-clickbait articles, so they win this battle.

One thing that these star trade proposals remind me continuously is that there is still value in players with those big hunky max contracts.

Why shouldn't they hold value? Those players are the guys you create Cap Space for and use it.

[WYO]

Why exactly would Detroit send out the best player and a first round pick for Aaron Gordon, White, and two crappy players? That trade doesn't make any sense.

[bearadonisdna]

Was thinking about a package of Wcj, Dunn and sweeter, to upgrade the center position.
Some candidates I saw around the league,
Bagley, Whiteside, love, Drummond

Our center position be upgraded when Carter matures as a player. Don't want any of those players. The last 3 names almost make me nauseous.
