NBA Trade Thread #2

[HomoSapien]

It wouldn't shock me if AK is keeping an eye on the Harden situation. I could see it deteriorating quickly and I wouldn't be surprised if his trade value is lower than you'd think given his age.

What do you think the Bulls should offer for Harden?

If I'm being completely honest, I'm not a big Harden fan. That said, certainly #4 and WCJ as a starting point. Don't know what I'd max out at.

Dude, come on. I don’t like Harden that much either but if we had a chance at getting him, I’d put everything on the table. MVP caliber player in his prime? No brainer. He’s incredibly talented and can be successful in a different system.

Just to elaborate, my reason for any hesitation is that he's already 30, so if we're going for him we need to go all-in which I think is easier said than done considering we don't really have any players that properly complement him right now.

If we trade for Russ intake back everything I said about AK.

All this is just clickbait media trash.

[ImSlower]

Man, would RWB be a crappy thing to happen to this franchise.

Feel like Zach and #4 would have to be the starting point, given that the Rockets will need a scorer to replace Harden. Harden would not be a good fit on this team next year, but undoubtedly would boost our chances at a star FA next offseason. That’s his main appeal to me

Just saying WCJ and #4 is a laughably bad starting point.

I just don’t like Hardens game. He’s hard to watch and root for, even if he’s extremely effective.

Yep. I can’t watch him. The flopping is too much.

Doesn't sound like it will cost the Bulls any major assets. (per trade board) If they're going to give him away, the Bulls actually make some sense contract wise. #4 pick & Coby White will still be on their rookie deals and Zach's max is less than most. Westbrook has enough 'star' power to possibly attract a FA when OPJ expires.

Young + Sato + Felicio + Gafford for Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook / Coby White
Zach LaVine / Adam Mokoka
Otto Porter Jr. / Deni Avdija (#4) / Chandler Hutchison
Lauri Markkanen / Deni Avdija (#4)
Wendell Carter Jr. / Nerlens Noel (MLE) / #44

I love how we are named in every rumor now. We are finally back to being relevant!

The dude who has pinned his tweets about KD joining the Nets, something lots of people saw coming months before, as probably the biggest success of his time as an "insider". That dude clearly knows what AK is thinking, 100%.


Westbrook would be terrible at any price. They don't even have enough first rounders to make that interesting for me. But we have smart people in charge now, so it's not happening anyway.

[weneeda2guard]

Westbrook is still an incredible talent but he needs a place where he can just be a 1 man show. Knicks would be perfect for him.

[patryk7754]

not sure if its been mentioned but the connection between Donnavan and Westbrook might lead to some rumors about westbrook to the bulls. High risk high reward move

[ChettheJet]

I think that's more a product of #4, a draft with question marks at every pick and the lack of information coming from the Bulls. People are free to post any rumor and since they aren't genuine journalists nobody is going to come back in 6 months and say how wrong some blogger/podcaster was.

Here's something borderline outlandish but you never know how much saving money has become a consideration for any team.

It really isn't getting back enough to fill what the Rockets give up, maybe they turn Coby loose to score, maybe Markkanen makes his comeback, HOU hasn't had a high pick in a long time so maybe they find the guy in this draft that fits and they get some cap space which they haven't seen in a long time.

For the Bulls, I'd sure take that and see how it flies.

[weneeda2guard]

I'm still in shock that some people were against trading for harden. Not that it will happen but that is a mvp caliber talent and clear top 5 talent in the league regardless of his playoff shortcomings. With that deal posted we could still clear up space to add a guy next off season. Giannis might not come join what we have now. But he could come join harden and lavine.

I'm out on westbrook but I'm all in on a harden trade.

[Southpaw]

If we're trading for Westbrook, I'd rather have CP3 even if he's older. Better player and might even attract a star FA here. Having Harden here would be a good starting pitch for star FAs we're trying to sign. I think he can play in systems other than small ball.

The Spurs getting multiple mentions of trying to get a high lotto pick is interesting. Wonder who they're targeting.
