Pelicans don't do that unless Chicago takes on additional salary like Adams.

Could also be somebody like Bledsoe coming back for salary purposes

It'd be just another great move.

Top 4 protected in 2021. "Light protection" in 2023.

Is the word on the street.

I don't think the 2023 pick is a big deal (although there are nightmare scenarios I suppose).

Unless he can play PG, not sure I agree with this being a priority deal. Nice complementary piece but we need to finish construction of the starting 5 first, imo.

Great trade for the Bulls. Vucevic is a difference maker.

As for the FRPs, this trade should firmly entrench the Bulls in the EC playoffs this season and thus the 2021 FRP should be out of the lottery.

Hard to say where the 2023 FRP will land at this point, but it is worth it to land Vuc.

And unloading Porter Jr. and his contract is nice - the guy was not on the court for most his tenure with Bulls.

Coby for Trent

Lauri for Ball

Ball, Sato
Lavine, Trent
Trent, Pat
Thad, Pat
Vucevic, Gafford

How about to start PWill next to Vucevic...... Thad would upgrade the bench,

The scenario nobody is thinking about and one that is likely is, 2022 comes you have been bounced out of the POs twice in the 1st round, Zach is a UFA and your arguments to convince him to stay (a contract I am not even sure you want to sign but that's another story) are 2nd year vet Patrick Williams, I guess Coby White, and soon to be expiring vet 32yo Nik Vucevic

When he is going to be offered max deals left and right from way more attractive projects...

I don't like this trade whatsoever for Chicago mid term, short-term the fans will enjoy it and the team should be fun, likely a PO caliber one for a couple seasons, but dunno, I don't see the upside play, and not even the mid-term one

Both picks top 4 protected. That's the most important part IMO.

Yeah man, I don't get it either. They evaluated and made a move that didn't take the entire season to do. Keep going with it AK. :nod:

Reading twitter for analysis is like bashing your skull into a brick wall when your forehead itches.

The Bulls just don't give up anything this year

Seems like Orlando is rebuilding again so this move isn’t bad for them. Otto contract is expiring, they might even buy him out.Carter is only 21 they can give him a chance to see if he can turn things around as their starting center and then they get 2 first round picks for which is what a rebuilding team needs.

They're in full rebounding move ,just moved Fournier for the Celtics.

Not mentioned enough here. We are rid of that super disappointing Carter. Makes my eye hurt.
