That guy’s “rumor” was referencing a blogger’s suggestion.
Sauces!

Yeah, I don't see the Bulls taking on TT's terrible contract just for a late first rounder from Cleveland.
Utah and Cleveland would do it though.
I think they'd take that contract to get a late lottery or early mid first rounder. I don't think they are doing that to get one of the last picks in the first round.I think they would take that contract back to get a first round pick. What else are they going to spend money on the next couple years while tanking. Plus TT would be okay next to their rookie.
Cav wouln't do it. They need wings to guard the Warriors. They arent throwing in Crowder in that deal.Would you do:
Favors plus a 2nd rounder for Fry (and possibly Crowder) and the Cavs #30 pick
Then do Cavs #30 pick to Chicago for Mirotic
Why the Cavs do it? They shed almost $3 million which saves them $12 million in luxury. Crowder hasn't been a great fit so they get the relief.
Why don't the cavs just do Favors for the pick? Because the Cavs would end up paying WAY too much taking back more salary (something like $40 million) unless they shed salary. Dumping Fry makes more sense than Crowder, but Crowder has played poorly and if they give up on him...

Yeh, but what if Detroit offers their first and Jon Leuer?They are not getting a first for Mirotic without taking back some sort of bad contract. If they want to get a first they will probably do something along these lines. Plus again, they will be well below the min spending any ways.

Chicago:
In: Frye, Shumpert, Cleveland 1st
Out: Mirotic
Cleveland:
In: Favors and Hood, Jazz 2nd
Out: Frye (expiring), their first and Crowder. Dump Shumpert's salary.
Also luxury tax savings (Incoming salaries = $14.4M; outgoing $17.7M)
Utah:
In: Mirotic and Crowder
Out: Favors, Hood, 2nd
I think it all comes down to what Chicago expects back with a 1st. Other teams may want/have to send back a player with an extra year on their contract. Jazz can offer an expiring, but would likely only include a highly-protected 1st (if at all).
Will he become an Enes Kanter type problem for Chicago? Normally dislike malcontents, but hopefully he starts pressuring Chicago for a trade. He - and his agent - know an easy deal can be put together with the Jazz, which he'd agree to in a flash. The only sticking point is the draft pick.Mirotic tanking that value
Considering all we got for Kanter was Threebor Pleiss and Ricky Rubio, perhaps we could get Niko with Tomic (rich man’s Pleiss) and Burks.Will he become an Enes Kanter type problem for Chicago?

Chicago wont take Tristan Thompson. His contract is awful.

Cavs get Favors and Jazz 2nd
Bulls get Frye and Cavs 1st
Jazz get Mirotic and Osman
If the Bulls really want Osman, I could see him going there.

Cavs arent giving up both Osman and a 1st for Favs while keeping TT. TT and Favors are very redundant. For the Cavs to give up their first they will want someone to take a bad contract. Bulls have no reason to worry about cap space for the next 2 years as well. They are not chasing a big FA and have very little cap space committed.
