I agree that it’s unlikely Detroit moves Jerami Grant. He’s only 26 years old averaging 24 PPG, 6 RPG, & 3 APG with elite defense while only making 19M.
The Bulls would likely need to ‘overpay’ Detroit to pry him away, but I think Jerami Grant would be worth it. Finding a two-way player that can create his own shot is an ideal match for LaVine. Also, his 19M salary still leaves the Bulls with a bunch of cap space to target an impact free agent.

I see this offered and honestly it makes no sense. No team with the potential to get a top even 8 pick in what is supposed to be a good draft is going to part with that just to unload salary. So that means any team willing to put a pick with a bad salary all those picks will be mid teens at best more than likely in the 20s. What teams are being shown now is having a accumulation of picks that likely only become mid teens in the 20s have very little value in the league now. So you want the bulls to pay 15-20 something million or even more if the deal is beyond this year which it likely will be to get a pick to draft the next Chandler Hutchison? 2 way deals g league d league made those late picks less valuable. You can add guys who will play their hearts out for 1 or 2 mill unguaranteed and if it doesn't work out you can just cut them and that is the way most teams are moving including the bulls. That course is better than drafting a guy who is not better than a g league player and having to pay them 4-6 million a year with them having 4 years guarantee in their rookie deals. Dont see this route happening

That trade doesn't suddenly put them in contention for anything besides angry fans who are upset over not having a first round pick while also giving away the only decent player on their team.

Their best hope in that regard is easily their own pick in 21. Grant isn't old either.
Lauri and Coby aren't going to make a difference for them.

And how are you supposed to get quality players when you don’t have none when somebody is eating a third of your cap? Do they have about 30 million In cap space to get those players. No. Do they have young talented players. No.Grant will be 7 to 8 years older than their next best player next year which will probably be there lottery pick so no Grant is an old but they’re not on the same timeline. I’ll toss in Wendell if it was a deal breaker and he would still start over there lol

He is better than every single player on this roster besides Zach, and besides scoring crazy 3Ps, he's pretty much better than Zach. Weaver had one of the dumbest off-seasons ever, but the broken clock struck once.

Their capspace doesn’t really matter, it’s all about the draft. You just don’t, under any circumstances, trade your pick. You collect young talent via the draft. Griffin is under contract for one more season after this one, it’s just not nearly a big enough deal for them to throw in the most and the second most valuable asset they have.
