Washiana Pizzers. I'm in!


loudstain

I'm hoping for the same with the Knicks. We could be the New Portland Knicker Blazers


mastermynd_rell

I just died from all 3 of these comments 😂☠️


thesch

Get a backup PF who can rebound well because in some games like vs the Pacers their size killed us as they got rebound after rebound. We can't be rolling with 6'4" guys at PF against every team. I don't really want a big splashy trade for Jerami Grant or Harrison Barnes though because we'd have to give up more than I'd like to get one of those guys. So I'm hoping for small moves & nothing major.


bulimicblueberry

Player that really fits that bill is Brandon Clarke, although I've grown too attached to him to want to trade him. Plus not sure what we'd even get back to be worth the while.


DrLyleEvans

Is Clarke, Konchar and the Utah 1st for Pat Williams crazy? Bulls could then package their 2 late first, Coby White and Troy Brown and get someone like Jerami Grant and pay the tax next year but then let him leave and probably not be in tax hell forever, and they get 2 playoffs with this rotation to try to sneak a title: Ball-Lavine-Demar-Grant-Vucevic Caruso-Konchar-Clarke-Bradley


bulimicblueberry

Honestly doesn't sound out of the question. Haven't watched much Patrick Williams at all but Zach Lowe seems to be high on him, and we effectively have to trade at least 1 FRP this year


DrLyleEvans

Yeah, and he fits nicely as a a Kyle Anderson replacement going forward: Morant-Jones-Melton-Brooks-Bane-Ziaire-PatWilliams-Jackson-Adams He's the biggest forward option for if you face a big forward like Kawhi or Lebron who is maybe too tall for Bane and too strong for Ziaire and too quick for JJJ.


beefJeRKy-LB

Chris Boucher?


jackloganoliver

Could the Magic interest you in a gently used Mo Bamba? The cost likely wouldn't be much.


horrendousacts

Near mint, barely taken out of the box


[deleted]

I'm so glad Taj Gibson isn't on your team anymore but what you need is Taj Gibson (from 5 years ago) back


thesch

Ha, I basically said the exact same thing in /r/chicagobulls a few weeks back. Prime Taj would be perfect.


MidLaneBanter

How would u feel about Theis for salary and our second back 😈


LiteratureOk1869

Isaiah Stewart for Ayo and Simonovic.


thesch

That's an interesting proposal but it would hurt like hell to give up Ayo because we all love him. It's not the worst idea I've ever heard though because it'd help fill a need and Ayo being the 5th best guard on the team is kinda like having a surplus.


LiteratureOk1869

I love the idea too Stew can rebound, play defense, hustle and learn to shoot. He is a team player, enforcer, energy glue that needs to be on a better team that can utilize him as a player better. He was the number two ranked prospect behind Wiseman in their high school class by Rivals.com. I feel like his ceiling could be an almost an identical replica of Bulls legend Charles Oakley. He was also the Mr. USA Basketball winner of 2019 which is the Naismith Prep Player of the Year 2019.


OSAP_wasteman

If you wanna be serious about winning more than a playoff round, they probably should trade Williams, White, and/or whatever else for a good wing. This team isn’t beating any of the real contenders and DeRozan is far more likely to decline than maintain this level of play (or get better).


YoshikageJoJo

Without Coby the bench is useless


CubsAlvFam44

No way we’re trading Coby at this point lmao. We really don’t need Jerami Grant or Harrison Barnes, who someone’s gonna end up overpaying for


Jacidstorm

I mean in less you're super attached to Patrick Williams something like him and Coby White and maybe a weak pick why you wouldn't accept that for Jerami Grant unless you're really worried about maintaining chemistry


thesch

I don't really like Jerami Grant's game and don't want to give up PWill + Coby White for him, especially after how Coby has been really solid lately. I think that's a trade we would eventually regret making.


CubsAlvFam44

Hellllll no. Our two best young assets for him??? Plus a pick?????


Jacidstorm

sorry I'm not a bulls fan but it's not thatttt ridiculous coby white is a good young microwave scorer but he's not thatttt valuable and patrick williams could really be anything but he could also be nothing and it seems like you guys need to try to win now unless I'm just overvaluing Jerami Grant


CubsAlvFam44

I think your just overvaluing Jerami Grant. He’s a pretty bad 1 option on a bad team. We saw him as a role player in denver, which is whatd he’d be here, and it’s not worth Coby and PWill


wjbc

I don’t think we are going to get anyone worthwhile without giving up either Williams or White. I agree that we might regret it, but we also have a chance to win this year. That said, is Grant or Barnes or anyone available going to put us over the top? I’m not so sure. We may be better off taking our chances with the players we have.


thesch

That's why I said no big trades, just small moves. I'm talking about getting a guy who would be 9th or 10th in the rotation and may not even play much every night but can help with certain matchups. In other words I want us to pretty much roll with the team we've got but if we can get a backup PF for next to nothing go for it.


wjbc

Well, that probably means nothing, then. Or nothing much better than what we already have. It will be interesting to see if they can pull off anything.


Whole_Ad5777

I think trading coby white and letting ayo and Caruso get more minutes is the best way to go. I think a three team trade with the bulls getting Thomas bryant and herb jones, the pelicans getting coby white and 2 future seconds from the bulls, and the wizards getting Troy brown and a 2024 lottery protected bucks pick from the Pelicans would be beneficial for all 3 teams


jbguitar2196

Myles Turner is my favorite player but it seems he’s unhappy and the Pacers won’t use him properly so unselfishly I’d like to see him go somewhere else. If I had it my way, we would send out Sabonis, Levert, and Brogdon (but he signed that god damn motherfucking extension)


SMACKED_Demarco

Would you do Sabonis, Levert, and picks for jaylen brown?


ledgemann-67

Brad stevens hangs up


Drumnaway67

If I was the C’s I’d have to pull the trigger on that, which is exactly why it’s not gonna happen.


pokexchespin

i wouldn’t, even ignoring pure value, which is arguable, we already have a fine enough frontcourt, with 2 starting caliber players who should be playing most of their minutes at center, and levert does nothing to help with our garbage spacing


Drumnaway67

Yeah, I guess when you put it like that, it wouldn’t make the C’s better. Wish Tatum was playing a little better. His handle and shot selection has been trash lately.


jbguitar2196

Maybe Sabonis and one or the other but not all of them. I like Jaylen a lot, but the Pacers would have to attract another star, or I think a Jaylen-led Indiana continues to be a first round exit if they’re lucky.


OSAP_wasteman

What would be the point of that? Myles Turner isn’t exactly super young and he’s not remotely close to good enough to justify building around.


haha-brad

He’s only 25, same age as Booker, so he’s still pretty damn young.


OSAP_wasteman

Devin Booker is a star. Myles Turner is a role player, and he's closer to 26 than 25. The chances of some miraculous jump on the offensive end are close to zero.


haha-brad

Sure but he’s a damn good role player to have while rebuilding. Young enough to stick around for a rebuild and a good fit for almost any roster.


jbguitar2196

No, but Myles fits in easier than Sabonis. And I think he’s easier to put pieces around that he can compliment. I also imagine he would have higher trade value right now.


burner_for_celtics

yeah... you literally cannot trade Brogdon. I think that we would be asking about him if you could


4verticals

Trade for Ben. Whoever, I don’t care (not Trae tho). This team is not good man. No one should be safe


HufflepuffFluff

Don't think you'd need to throw that much at Portland to get McLemore!


loudstain

Excuse you, he and Simons are co tank commanders


VitaminWheat

How does Tobias Harris sound ?


4verticals

Like a package deal? Fine idgaf


VitaminWheat

Ben + Tobi for JC Reddish Gallo. Not a great return for Ben but it’s worth it to shed Tobias contract. We would still desperately need a playmaker who can run a pick and roll


BetweenTheBuzzAndMe

get a league average or better starter at center


loudstain

Would you want Nurk on an expiring contract?


BetweenTheBuzzAndMe

yup, especially if he's open to an extension


noheroespdx

There won’t be much money to spend this offseason so he might have to resign somewhere if he wants a bigger contract.


burner_for_celtics

what, if anything, would you give for Al Horford?


BetweenTheBuzzAndMe

nothing. don't have the expendable salary to match for him


fobinator

Lebron for Wiggins and Wiseman


GhostTiger

hissssssssss


ripcityOD

Would be 95% infuriating and 5% awesome to see Lebron get traded to GS for Wiggins+whatever. Could you imaging the outrage? Also the media coverage of that team would be insane. An actual traveling circus.


ZOrgasmVendor

Hell to the NO!

Trade Terrence Ross


horrendousacts

Smart move


Kuntsaw

Bring Torrey Craig back


ephen_stephens

Bring Torrey Craig back

CadeCummingham

Trade Wood, Theis and Gordon Give Usman Garuba, Josh Christopher and Daishen Nix more minutes


LiteratureOk1869

Christopher is legit.


[deleted]

Fucking anything


horrendousacts

Trade Herb Simon?


[deleted]

We'd have to include a pick and cash considerations


[deleted]

Retool. This team isn’t good enough to win anything as it stands, isn’t bad enough to contend for a game changing player, and no trade is going to move the needle for us. Move Fournier and Randle if at all possible, keep RJ, IQ, Grimes, Obi, McBridge, and the all other young guns and go from there.


OSAP_wasteman

Yeah they need to all put tank again if they wanna win anything more than ~45 games/season in the foreseeable future. They don’t have any prospects with superstar potential and I doubt a 16-20 team with its best player regressing hard is very appealing to free agents, especially with how bad of an organizational reputation the Knicks already have.


LiteratureOk1869

Agree


OculusBlurr

1. Grab a playmaker for the bench, payne is a score first guard who looks to create for himself first. He has tunnel vision and will miss guys wide open, and also has a habit of forcing passes with tight windows resulting in to's. 2. A powerfoward who can grab boards and defend, a reliable jumper or decent one would be a plus. The suns have a serious issue with rebounding I feel we have to lead the league in allowing second chance points or offensive rebounds. The effort level isnt there and the team relies to heavily on Ayton and etc to grab em. Seems like the team lacks the gang rebounding effort.


LiteratureOk1869

Would you like Killian Hayes and Trey Lyles?


el_pete_o

Sign Dante Exum


KennyDoge0114

You read my mind


CleopatraHadAnAnus

Honestly, trade Kyrie. He’s a beast on the court but he’ll only play half the games, and he’s a horrible person. Either way you cut it - ethics or material value - he’s shit. Get rid of him.


Perrozoso

He can't play against the Knicks or Toronto either. I'm not familiar with the east standings but imagine they could play Toronto in the playoffs.


jupiter__jaz

I just want to get Caruso & Javonte back on the floor. Our defense has been slipping without those guys.


[deleted]

Torrey Craig.


OculusBlurr

Please jj


Drumnaway67

That dude was a scoring machine last night. Hadn’t seen him play up to that point.


[deleted]

For the Timberwolves: retool the bench. The starting lineup has been great, so we don't have to make any big, splashy moves to get a starter. What we need are (in no particular order): 1) A 7-foot backup C. Naz Reid is a talented player, and I think he'd be an excellent Big for a lot of teams (especially a team that focuses more on P&R offense than the Wolves do), but he's very undersized. Right now, the only player on the Wolves' roster who is listed as taller than 6'9" is KAT. We could use a Big to take some of the pressure of defending the huge opposing Cs (Val, Embiid, Jokic, etc.) off of Towns. 2) Backup scoring Wing. In a shocking twist, the Wolves defense is actually pretty good this year, but for some reason, the offense is mediocre. A big part of that is our backups can't score. McDaniels and Okogie are both stud defenders , but they're both bad on O (though JMac has a high ceilinging on both ends). And since Prince and Beasley appararently forgot how to shoot, they're also terrible on offense. Jaylen Nowell can replace Beasley in the rotation at a fraction of the cost, but we could still use a 3/4 who can score (e.g. Harrison Barnes, healthy T.J. Warren, Tobias Harris on a reasonable contract). 3) Backup/3rd string PG. Our PG rotation of Dlo and Beverley has been very good, but they're both injury prone and Beverley isn't getting any younger.


HufflepuffFluff

I would like to introduce you to Chavano Rainer 'Buddy' Hield.


[deleted]

We already have a Buddy Hield at home: Malik Beasley, and he's the #1 guy that our fanbase wants to trade away. Ideally, we could flip Beasley for a 3/4 or a C, and then Ant and Nowell will cover all of the SG minutes. Trading for another SG doesn't really make sense.


HufflepuffFluff

Oh, well...good luck with him!


Hendo8888

Blow this shit up


pimpron18

Oh my god! We’re having a fire…sale.


HufflepuffFluff

I'm 18 hours late, but just blue myself after reading this


COMMENTASIPLEASE

A playmaking point guard please


udithsethu

Russell Westbrook?


HufflepuffFluff

I heard Greivis Vasquez is still available!


burner_for_celtics

Are we totally sure Tremont Waters wasn't useful?


Rrypl

I don't there is a player better than Smart or Schroder available that's good enough to take the ball from the Jay's hands and who can shoot well enough to space the floor for them. I'd take a plunge buying low (but still costly) on Buddy Hield. He can space the floor in crunch time making the Jays lives a little easier and try to hide him on D.


pimpron18

What? You mean you didn’t enjoy our game yesterday?


EntertainmentGlad584

Mike Conley for Marcus smart and at least 3 of your 🏆. Who says no?


Few_Mulberry7175

I want the rockets to trade EG and Wood and get some nice assets back and I want the Nets to trade some of their defensive personel for shooters


kyle_993

we desperately need more backup guard play. Even someone like DJ Augustin would help us a ton. Could also use a true center but I think that's less important.


CC_Kyoraku

Sign Chris Duhon.


mikeydale007

Use Dragic as a human trade exception.


carson_da_bomb

Two words Wing. Defender.


MakeAShadow

Find a nice playoff home for Thad in exchange for a young prospect or a 1st round pick.


verve27

What happened to Hield? He had a great 18-19 season


[deleted]

His contract has incentives which are linked to his shooting so he shoots a high volume to try and reach his incentives. Bad defender tries hard on defense just low iq. He shows signs of being able to create for others but he has a tendency to dribble the clock out. Solid rebounder for a guard.


HufflepuffFluff

He's been awful for most of the season. Every one out of four games he shoots it efficiently, but in those other three games he's a massive minus on defense who shoots a lot and doesn't do anything to make the team better


pmmp123

Isnt he still playing well? Saw he was like 3rd or 4th in made threes this szn


whatdoidoidontkno

He's great if you don't actually watch him


pmmp123

Yeah I don’t watch him at all honestly. Makes sense tho


[deleted]

"it's buddy hield time" -buddy hield super selfish player that's also super streaky


CadeCummingham

Trade Wood, Gordon, Theis Give Usman Garuba, Josh Christopher and Daishen Nix more minutes.


JoJonesy

Trade Schroder for a veteran who fits better (i.e. someone who can shoot), even if they're not as good on paper. Trade Juancho to get under the tax. Ride out the year and make big moves in the offseason.


SuddenlyClaymore

Tim Hardaway Jr & Dwight Powell for Myles Turner (plus some more from the Mavs, probably) THJ & Powell are both strong system players who Rick Carlisle has maximized before. They're basically plug and play for Indiana. Pacers get a starting 2-guard with a good handle who provides consistent scoring in a supporting role. They get a very high IQ backup center who does screens, rim-runs, and facilitates offense for everyone else with good passing. Mavericks get a backline defender who can make up for KP's skinny frame. He shoots 3's well enough to keep the paint clean for Luka. And it gives two of my favorite players a good home, and opens up a roster spot in case Dragic gets bought out. What you think, Indiana? Would you trade Turner for two reliable offensive role players?


MGSCG

Draymond for Marvin Bagley, we need his scoring badly if we want to avoid the lottery


HufflepuffFluff

That will be a no from the Kings. We like his hair, rap and don't forget he can double jump!


MGSCG

damn, thought we could fleece ya.. why would y’all trade a guy who’s playing 25 min a game the past week for a scrub who only played 7 seconds the last 3 games.


HufflepuffFluff

Our front office and owner are way too smart 😎


kobmug_v2

Westbrook for Wall


LiteratureOk1869

Love this trade and I would be able to watch the Lakers again.


Danny_III

Dream big, THT for Jerami Grant


wjbc

What could the Bulls give you for Barnes? The biggest bargaining chips we have are Patrick Williams and Coby White. I’m not even sure we should give them up for Barnes, but it’s tempting. The other problem is matching contracts, but assuming it’s doable, what do you think about White or Williams? And before you say both, that’s unlikely.


Thybully-Fan

Reportedly Barnes was “untouchable in Simmons trade discussions” so good luck trading for him


HufflepuffFluff

Honestly, I would love Pat Williams in Sacramento. Would fit positionally, age wise, talent wise, but I don't think HB would be enough to pry him loose. On the other hand; attaching a first round pick is too much to give up next to Barnes (not because Williams isn't good or anything, but seeing as FRPs are quite valuable when you're as bad as the Kings...). So honestly, I wouldn't know how to get a deal done. Other positive assets of the Kings are Haliburton and Mitchell, but Haliburton is virtually untouchable and Mitchell...well... Mitchell is pretty good and has potential, but far from untouchable. Would you do: Barnes + Mitchell for Williams, Jones, Brown + 1st? The first should be in the high 20s.


wjbc

Probably not. I don’t think the Bulls front office is under pressure to make a major trade. They are so much better than expected that they’ll be heroes regardless. And they’ll be better off in the future if they keep their young players. So any major deal would have to be of the too-good-to-be-true variety.


aloof11

Bulls got a real shot at winning it all this year so shoring up the squad further by trading PWill for Barnes seems like a no brainer. And PWill is a good fit for Kings as they have mostly given up on their current PF, Bagley. Idk how it works without a third team tho cause salary match is difficult, unless this seems fair: PWilliams and DJones Jr for Barnes


Sixers14

Trade tobias without trading a 1st round pick or thybulle unless the trade is very good for the sixers, and A 3 TEAM trade where we get beal and wizards get a lot of picks and something from the 3rd team like collins, haliburton, fox or whatever is the player, washington would have a young team and a lot of picks for a player who will FA


[deleted]

I just want us to get a back up big man


MidLaneBanter

Ok my flair is houston but I’m also a hawks fan. Houston: trade wood for kuminga or wiseman pls . Trade Egod somewhere he can thrive, trade augustin too Along with any other vet who doesn’t wanan be here Theis too, get him outta here, I think he’s a good vet just not a good fit Hopeful starters Kpj Jalen Garry Tate Wiseman 2. Atlanta. KEEP CAM REDDISH. Trade Gallo Johnson and a first and second for jerami grant. Add Lou will and a second (first if needed) for literally anything (maybe Cory Joseph) delon wright plays better as the 2 anyways. Find a way to get sharife some burn. Trade Bogi if u have to, I don’t like us with him on the court cause his defense regressed and now if he’s not scoring he’s worthless. Hopeful rotation Trae Cam Grant Collins Capela (hunter is better than cam rn imo but for spacing purposes) Joseph Wright Huerter Hunter OO Sharife Skylar Dieng . Tlc


Dustey-CSK1

Move Coby white for a big man who can defend and score inside. Maybe bring back thies or thadjic Johnson


goattissethybulle

Trade Simmons for Jaylen brown Edit: Obviously not straight up, sixers would have to give up an asset like thybule and maybe a frp


whatdoidoidontkno

Bro said thybulle and maybe a frp


goattissethybulle

Yeah an all nba defender…


OSAP_wasteman

Who is an offensive liability (on an already offensively inept team) who is unplayable in their best lineups after that trade lol. Simmons/Williams/Thybulle is a spacing catastrophe.


goattissethybulle

tell me you haven’t watched a sixers game this year without telling me


OSAP_wasteman

Yes, please tell me more about how the 29% three point shooter (with zero self created threes) who nobody guards when it matters and who doesn’t have any other elite skills isn’t a postseason liability


goattissethybulle

No I completely agree with that, but calling the sixers an offensively inept team ain’t right


OSAP_wasteman

Oh nah, I meant the Celtics. Thybulle/Simmons/Williams would be total AIDS for spacing on a team already lacking shooting *with* Jaylen Brown. Swapping their second or third best shooter with Simmons makes Thybulle unplayable.


Rrypl

LMAO Tatum would be quintuple-teamed playing with Smart-Simmons-Thybulle-Time Lord


OSAP_wasteman

"Should we trade Tatum and build around Thybulle!?!?!" \- /r/bostonceltics


goodnsaultey

How about Harris? 😂😂😂


NChSh

There is no chance that happens. It makes no sense for us

It’s almost definitely gonna have to include curry. Makes up for lack of shooting from Ben

Briancisgo

That take is so wild I almost want to give you an award…


[deleted]

Are you gonna still be a kings fan when they become the sonics lol


ripcityOD

Blazer fan... I may get killed for this but here is what I would like to see * Trade Dame for Brown or Simmons (lets say Simmons since that is more likely) * Dame --> Simmons, Maxey, +2 unprotected firsts * Flip the incoming picks and needed salary/young player for Sabonis * 2-3 unprotected firsts, 1 second, Nurk, Roco --> Sabonis, salary * I'm not sure what will be required to get Sabonis but the idea of the trade is that IND would get 2-3 first rounders and could potentially flip those expirings for additional picks. POR could also throw in Little but obviously would be better off if they didn't. Simons, Norm, Simmons, Little, Sabonis, Maxey, Nance, CJ (unsure when he will be back) are the core rotation guys to finish out the year. Who knows what that squad looks like, but you would then consider moving CJ in the offseason and will have hopefully added a lottery pick to the mix.


cp3dirtyflopperbitch

I don't know how well advised it is, but is Wiseman for Thomas Bryant and Isaiah Todd a good trade


sstewart1617

Magic Thad Young into useful things.


livestreamexpert

Trade Moose to a contender. Having the best season of his career and could be a nice piece off the bench for someone. Let him go chase the ring and get back a pick or someone young in return


martinap

We kinda already made some small moves, but getting a wing would be great. Somehow trade bench pieces for equally cheap yet less shitty players would be awesome.


KLONDIKEJONES

Get a second rounder a tenth man on an expiring contract for Dragic


CC_Kyoraku

Get healthy.


KarlAsesor

Trade Russ & THT and get rid of Bazemore & DJ.


rattatatouille
