Trade ideas

Elizah Huge said:
I’m not sure if Clarkson could net us a first. Maybe a protected first if we take expiring contracts or bad salary?

Anyways here are some of my ideas:

Clarkson to Philadelphia for Marcus Morris, Furkan Korkmaz and a protected first

Clarkson to New York for Evan Fournier and a protected first

Clarkson and Olynyk to Miami for Kyle Lowry, Caleb Martin and a protected first

Clarkson to OKC for Bertans and our first back

Clarkson to Dallas for Tim Hardaway Jr and a protected first

Clarkson to Houston for Jeff Green, Victor Oladipo and a protected first

Clarkson to Golden State for Chris Paul and a protected first

Thoughts?

If these were all on the table, I’d prefer the THJ deal (they wouldn’t do it) or CP3. I believe those two guys are the most likely to be able to be parlayed into something else later.

Paul is non-guaranteed next year. We’d likely just buy him out.

Man, Colby White has been balling out lately.

Wonder how that impacts what the Bulls are doing.

Knowing AK, Bulls probably won't blow it up completely but rather re-structure the team with a soft tank, if possible. The worst would be for them to not trade Zach. He is not the #1 option of great team, but in that team he will always act like it,hurting the winning. And DeRozan is too slow for their future brand.

ok, I'm feeling ready to believe this is real smoke. I'm sure yall have already tried to figure out the most likely destinations. Can anyone recap, pls?

My prediction … Collins and Clarkson for Lavine and Carter or Ayo.

DA doing a yankee swap. We may add the worst of our 2025 picks.

Sell your dad’s heirloom watch to have more cash flow. Spend the money on junk food. It’s okay though because we’ve got lotsa money. For now, at least. It’s okay to draft three rookies that we can’t play. What’s the harm? We’ve got tons of picks. Maybe DA can start giving out first rounders as Christmas bonuses the way DL did second rounders.
 
I dont get the Collins hate. He hustles a lot and moves more on the court than just about anyone on our team. He rebounds pretty well, plays decent defense when he isnt put at center, he shoots threes at a decent clip, and is an all around solid starter. He isnt going to be all-star so if that was your expectation I could see disappointment. He is a great fit with Lauri because he can space the floor and doesnt require the ball too much, along with defense and rebounding. Could we upgrade him? Sure. Should the rookie start over him? No, he can still get plenty of time off the bench and if he surpasses him, great go ahead and start him then and let Collins be a solid guy off the bench.
 
I am okay with a Zach Lavine trade if it doesnt include picks. He is basically a better younger version of Clarkson and is a decent salary to trade later if needed. Getting rid of 2 or more of Sexton, Clarkson, and THT is good for this team. On Jan 3rd send out Sexton and Clarkson for him.
 
Even though it means taking on a significant salary for a player I don't like at all, I think I'd be in favour of Clarkson + Sexton for Lavine, but the Bulls would never in a million years do that. No way I'm giving up picks.

He doesnt have any choice where he goes for a few years. If the lakers do want him they might cough up a pick but I doubt it, he doesnt seem to have much trade value.

I'm no LaVine fan but he is perfect for LA. His days as a #1 option are over, but he can still be very valuable as a lethal spot up shooter, which is what LeBron needs around him. Zach should embrace his future as a 3rd option sniper who doesn't handle the ball at all.

When did he ever have days of being a #1 option?!

His entire time in Chicago before DeRozan arrived?

I guess you could call him a #1 those years, but personally I dont consider someone a #1 just because they have the most points on a bad team. Someone had to score on those teams. I am not really calling Kyle Kuzma a #1. I dont even think most people here would consider Lauri a #1.

The biggest reason for the hate is probably the fact that we lacked playmaking and added Collins who is a play finisher over someone who could have helped us with our real shortcoming. So he really didnt resolve the issue, but more like emphasized it.

I agree that his fit with Lauri is much better than what most here give him credit for, and I do believe he was brought in to compete and potentially be a piece in the final product, which is why we chased him all of last season. I mean he has been the #2 option guy in a team that made it to ECF, and was seriously misutilized in Atlanta (kinda sad, since we are doing the same thing and not giving him nearly enough touches).
 
Jazz need to move on from Lauri. His value will NEVER be higher. He is not a number 1 option. Time to move him before we pay him. And I love Lauri but he is a bit of fools gold on a bad team. Can't create on his own. Basically a modern day Chris Bosh. Great numbers for the Raptors...3rd best on a title team.

OKC is ready to make a move in the west. Lets make a deal! Jalen Williams has a higher ceiling than Lauri IMO. Lauri helps OKC win now and fits the SGA timeline. Jazz are able to fully rebuild with out our picks being frozen until we convey it to OKC or the protections go away in 27.

Jazz get:
Jalen Williams and Davis Bertans.
24 FRP from Hou (top 4 prot)
24 FRP from Utah (opens up our picks going forward while allowing us to keep our pick)

OKC get:
Lauri Markkenan
Simone Fontecchio

Jazz line up:
Keyonte George
Jordan Clarkson (should prolly trade him too)
Jalen Williams
John Collins (should prolly trade him too)
Walker Kessler

OKC line up:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Lu Dort
Josh Giddey
Lauri Markkenan
Chet Holmgren

Tell me why im wrong ;)
 
Jalen Williams could be top 10 at some point in his career. He has all the tools to be a Paul George esque player.
