NBA Trade Thread

[BowlRips]

One of the trade partners that I like to look at are teams that fire their coach. Obviously they're losing, if the GM is got a contract and is staying he's going to look to start dealing veterans to get picks, prospects or at least shorter or smaller contracts and start looking at the draft.

Julius Randle and Allonzo Trier for Lauri Markkenan and Feliciano?

This fits with that notion.

It's not that the Knicks actually want a PF in return, they look really short at the SF position so if they wanted Otto Porter jr I'd do that eve if it meant having to look for a second trade. But at this point I've got to really consider trading Lauri. Unless he goes on a real tear and starts to average 20-10 he's not looking like the answer or as though he's worth any kind of extension. What's most troubling is there's no real reason why he can't develop into the player they thought he would be when he was drafted. It just seems to be in his head and that's harder to fix than finding post moves.

Randle is basically an expiring contract, don't have to pick up his option unless he looks like a great fit with the core group. The big benefit would be getting rid of Felicio without having to give up a pick or extra player.

At this point I rather keep Dunn and look to trade Arcidiacono if anybody wanted him. As a mater of fact I wish they would take a 7 or 10 game stretch and start Valentine at the 3, Dunn next to Lavine and have Satoransky, Young and White come off the bench just to see how it works out.

Randle's contract isn't guaranteed for next season?

Randle is guaranteed next year at $19mil and has a $4mil guarantee in 2021.

Look for GarPax to trade expiring contracts for longer contracts in order to bring Uncle Jerry CASH so that the bottom lines can go from red to black.

They will def be very active.

Otto Porter Jr. suffered an injury setback, where could the Bulls look for wing help?

CHA is a very interesting trade partner. The Bulls lack facilitators and Terry Rozier should be available following Graham's emergence.
Sato is very good but Arci, Shaq, Dunn should not be here next year and they account for 30 minutes.
I would call MJ and offer Felicio+Dunn+ 2nd for Rozier.

Also would like to get my hand on Gallinari by offering 1 for 1 Porter. Gallinari is equally injury prone but much cheaper.

Rozier is not that gifted of a distributor. Never has been.

Agreed. Bulls need a primary ball handler distibutor that can carry a winning team.

I wonder if the Bulls could sell them on a deal of Coby white for miles bridges. Coby is well liked by fans, played at unc, and could probably help the hornets sell more tickets than bridges

I like coby as a future 6th man but he's years away from significantly contributing to winning and I don't see starter potential in him. Bridges has some starter potential, and plays a position of bigger need.

[pipfan]

I would do that for sure. I like Coby, but I think Bridges could start at the 3 for us. He seems tough and like he would play some D.

If there isn't a Chance to get a star Player, aging star or a Player close to this Level - I'd think About adding Iguodala. He'd be a starter and exactly what this Team Needs. If they build on wins, add a Player like him and don't have off games the POs are still in reach.

Bulls get: Nene + Gerald Green + Rockets 2022 1st
Rockets get: Thad Young

He wants to go to title contender (both LA teams, Houston, Dallas even I heard, Toronto) , not just playoff hunter.

[MeloRoseNoah]

Rockets get: Thad Young

Morey counters:

Bulls get: Nene + Gerald Green
Rockets get: Thad Young and Chicago Bulls unprotected first rounder

Explanation: Rockets need to get additional compensation for eating that Thad Young albatross contract.

I come in peace. Any interest in Thad for Norman Powell (+filler)?

Powell is playing the most consistent ball of his career. He is averaging 14 ppg with an eFG% of 57% (his 3P% is 38%), having come on strong after a slow start to the season. He is making $10.9M next year and then has a $11.6M player option for 2021-22.

The filler would probably be Stanley Johnson who has a $3.8M player option next year. He's coming back from injury and how much he will contribute (to the Raptors or the Bulls in this trade scenario) is questionable.

With Porter still out I think Powell could help your wing situation. He's undersized at the 2 but has a large wingspan.

[youngthegiant]

MPJ + Beasley for Markkanen.

[JRoy]

A nice little damaged goods trade.

The Bulls send Porter Jr. and Kornet to the Blazers for Bazemore and Nurkic.

No thanks from Portland

[CoreyVillains]

A couple of trades to balance the Bulls roster a bit. Not sure the Nets are all that interested in moving Harris, but he’ll be a FA and they’ve invested a lot into Dinwiddie, Kylie, and Levert. Not sure any of those dudes will want to be looking for a reserve roll long term.

that's a Pretty bad trade for the nets.

From a pure talent standpoint, I would very happily do this trade. I'm surprised you would, since Powell's playing so well. Powell isn't a great fit on this roster since he's an undersized two and we sort of have a bunch of those kind of combo guards (White, Dunn, Harrison) but I'll take him simply because he's a good player. Is Powell's contract guaranteed for all three years? If so, I'd imagine the Bulls wouldn't be willing to make that commitment.

Against better judgment, I keep flirting with the idea of trading for Chris Paul and his albatross contract because I think his passing ability has the potential to bring the most out of Lauri, Zach, and Carter. For that reason, I'd propose the following trade:

Chris Paul, Nerlens Noel, Future 1st Round Pick (they have a ton)

for

Thaddeus Young, Tomas Satoransky, Felicio, Kornet

From a personnel standpoint, we're actually getting the best two players in the deal. Young has been a disappointment and Sato, while promising at times, is still rather inconsistent. Noel gives us a real rebounder off the bench (something we don't have) and a really good defender down low. New lineup:

C.Carter Jr./Noel
PF.Lauri/Gafford
SF.Porter*/Valentine/Hutch
SG.LaVine/White/Harrison
PG.Paul/Dunn/Arci

[drosereturn]

Waiter, 2 srps for Felicio, Dunn. The Bulls are giving out value only if they think they will resign Dunn.
