I agree that we can now look at punting our 2021 cap space to 2022. Not sure who will fit the dumpable allstar - likely an old guy like Horford or an injury reclamation project like Wall/Boogey.
The only issue with punting on third down to 2022 cap space is we wouldn't be the only team smart enough to see that the 2021 FA market is quickly drying up with Giannis and Paul George extending, Hayward signing and likely others to get extensions.
I would like to see what other teams have been aiming at 2021 and guess how many of them want to stay on that course or make a shift as suggested for the Bulls. Mostly I'd like to see the Bulls try anyway, to take the route that few if any want to try, don't just follow the crowd. Not that I know what will or won't work but if you get in a long line the harder it is to get ahead of everybody in it.
Right now I'm almost game for Tobias Harris if we get something else back in return. Maybe Thybulle or Korkmaz. That would set up where you go.
I would like to see if ATL is willing to deal anybody from Reddish, Hunter, Huerter who would seem to be stuck behind the high priced FAs they just signed
MEM has Allen, Brooks, Clarke o the bench and the injured Winslow who might not play
Do the Knicks see Kevin Knox as someone they want
MINN has Culver and Laymen pretty well buried on the bench
NOP have Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Josh Hart who play behind big contracts
ORL has Mo Bamba who could develop and an injured Jonathon Issac
I think I would consider trading Porter, Felicio, Arci, Kornet, Hutchison to teams still on the 2021 cap space path, Young, Satoransky, Valentine maybe even Markkanen and Carter if they bring enough back to whoever sees them as a piece to fill a spot. Then say you get Harris, you fill in the bench with any of the guys on that list or others who might have a year or two or option for a third who haven't gotten much playing time and mix them in around Harris, Lavine, White, Gafford, Williams,Temple and take a year of seeing who you've got, who stays and who goes. You've still got the low priced guys so you have room to resign Lavine in 2 years or if some of them really come on you can let Zach go in a S&T.
Well thought out, and reading between the lines I realize every player listed isn't moved. Some are players some are fillers.
Either way I feel that the current roster at best can scrape 8th place.
