NBA Trade Thread

[Chi town]

Looks like Hawks are just looking to please Trae and stay somewhat competitive to not piss him off and make him want to leave.

I bet Pax is livid with the soft Lauri. I bet he traded him.

Lauri for Saric Bridges and Cam Johnson. Not any top end talent but cheap contracts and he doesn’t have to pay Lauri. Totally a Pax trade.

Wow 3 young specialty talents for Lauri? I think PHX hangs up and laughs.

Lauri’s value is more like Justin Holiday and Doug McDermott.

You can throw him into a package for Westbrook, Paul or some other overpaid max star.

Lauri’s value is drain-low. You need to get a coach/system just to improve Lauri’s stats to get him on the trade market.

Don’t believe it. What Lauri showed in year one and 2 set his value. He’s a buy low candidate but you would still have to cough up value.

Hope Bulls get a real coach that can pump his value and then trade him. I don’t think he’s a long term piece.

I’m a firm believer that Boylen is a big reason for Lauri’s regression. It’s a shame that Paxson continues to back up Boylen. A real coach with previous NBA coaching experience is greatly needed here. Joeger seems to make the most sense. Even Doug Collins would be better than Boylen.

Bulls should go after Ben Simmons, he and Embiid can't coexist on that team, one has to go. We could use a dude like that on this team that can attack the basket and dish.

I’ve never been a Simmons fan at all.

No way I trade Lavine for him unless we are then trading him for even more value.

I’d trade Lauri and assets for him in a second to play with Lavine though. Simmons is a PF that needs shooters everywhere.

Sixers have too many bugs w Horford and Embiid.

Lauri, Dunn, and Coby or a top 3 protected 1st.

I think Simmons and Lavine could be a good pairing.

[ZOMG]

What kind of copy machine could we get for Kris Dunn? I'm intrigued.

I wonder who we could get if we trade our washing machine?

Problem with it, it would really make the Bulls Team better.

Oh I wouldn't trade LaVine either and I don;t think Philly needs him, they have Harris. Lauri can go though

I have a question. And I didn't know where to put this and didn't want to make it it's own thread (maybe it deserves more attention with it's own thread)...

Why did we keep Max Strus on a two-way contract after he tore his ACL? And now the deadline to sign two-way players ended on Jan 15th. I saw all sorts of other teams release two-way players and sign other ones before the deadline.

I understand two-way players play very seldom anyway and isn't the total end of the world... but knowing the bulls have depth issues at the wing and center position... why would you not sign someone that can actually play in case of emergency? Just an extra body you can call up for cheap just in case.

I just don't understand that. I'm sure the reason is there was some cost associated with releasing a two-way player, and of course signing another one.... so in the end the real reason is it probably somehow saved Jerry a couple hundred grand or something.

Is there some kind of rule you can't release a two-way player if they get hurt or something?

I don't think that Zach is even in the same zip code as Simmons in terms of trade value, and that comes from somebody that fully understands that Simmons struggles when teams pack the paint in the post-season. Dude is even more of a physical freak than Zach, and that's saying something.

Simmons, for one, is an elite defender that can guard 1-5 and actually do it well. Dude is 6'10 barefoot and is insanely quick, agile and bouncy for somebody that size--and he is not a dummy on the D side of the ball by any stretch. That blitzing, mad chaos D will be filthy with WCJ and Simmons on the court together. And if you really don't care much for spacing--put in Dunn and Thad as well, and that will be the nastiest group to score against in the entire league. Yeah, spacing will suck--but it sucks right now anyways, so what do we have to lose?

If you can get him, you go get him. Guys that can give you 16/17 points 8 boards, 9 assists, 2 steals and a 1 block while playing excellent man D and help D like a decent big from the PG/SF spot, and are willing passers, don't come around often. If anything, his usage in Chicago will increase even more so he may be able to put up some insane stats. He just needs shooters at the 4 & 5 spots around him, and he'll beast because he doesn't struggle to finish over the help, if that help is PG/SG-sized. So long as the 'bigs' are out of the paint, the guy feasts on pretty much anybody.

If I am the Bulls and I can get Simmons for anybody not named Lauri or WCJ (hoping he can find his stroke from deep again), I do it and not think twice. Mark my word, if that were to happen, the Bulls will turn into a 45-50 win pace team very quickly, so long as there are at least warm NBA bodies to fill out the rest of the roster.

Only way you win with Simmons is lots of shooters. I don’t like Simmons with Lauri and WCJ at all either. Simmons is so big he needs to play PF next to a good defensive C that can shoot like Embiid.

I’d trade them Zach for Simmons if we could get Richardson back and then trade Lauri for a wing.

Coby
Rich
Wing
Simmons
WCJ

Which is why you deal WCJ although i dont want Zach. Carter cant shoot a lick and duplicates same role although defense is nasty. Dealing zach for Simmons and then dealing Carter for wing/ top pick is best scenario.
Something like simmons/bogdan/morris/kuzma/Lauri would be nasty and its doable with White/lavine/otto.
The idea is empower Simmons like a Lebron and maximize his strength by surrounding with shooter and size with high usage so he doesnt need to score.

If trading Lauri gets you Ben Simmons, you do that. Immediately.



Also - Ben pairs better with Zach.

Yea I'm not understanding how Lauri still gets the untouchable tag from some guys here. I would trade him even for D-Lo, let alone Simmons.

I think Lauri very quickly traded the untouchable tag to the discount tag.

[dumbell78]

I would trade Lauri for rotational pieces if I could, give me a Covington for example and I'm running away with him.

[VolumePoster]

The bulls will not move Lauri. It would admit the rebuild is a failure. They don’t have the skin for that, so nothing will change.

[jump]

I believe the Bulls would trade Lauri for Simmons. It’s a matter of how much else would it take to convince the 76ers. Two first round picks? And Thad?

The only player we can get for the washing machine is the one player in the league we already have... Typical Bulls
