Quin Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 10:29 AM) Bulls doing something creative like using cap space for picks is something I wouldn't bet on. But, phil's stupiditiy aside, the package he was asking for Porzingis was legitimate. I don't think they are giving him away. He's not Gar Forman. Was that before or after he tried to package in Noah? Because that's where it went full blown stupid. Also yeah, I couldn't sleep this morning.

Panerista Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I truly agree with Cowley that Wade will poison the water like he tried to last year, but I can't imagine paying him to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Gar doesn't want to tell you they sold the pick for the cash. I am guessing to pay for the Ro do buyout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. And I didn't like the Butler deal at all. The Bulls at least got what they considered as upside. Very little upside acquired by the Clippers.

Chris Paul was a free agent and is older, so slightly different leverage in the equation. Clippers were in an interesting position with so many pending free agents, etc. A very good team...but one that was still a cut below the upper echelon teams in the league without the capacity / ability to make shifts. They tried hard to move DeAndre Jordan for the #4 pick and Tyson Chandler but weren't able to. Curious to see the direction they head. Honestly, I wouldn't have minded that deal as a Bulls fan (Houston really didn't give up much) and it would have been interesting to see how the 3 Alphas would have played out (with Paul replacing Rondo). You could then have been in a position a year from now to replace Wade with a much stronger, truer "alpha". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little upside acquired by the Clippers. Very curious what Clippers are going to do. Obviously LA didn't want to give him a 5 year deal. Seems that some of these front offices are getting smarter in how to handle the veteran players without saddling the team with LT deals. Chris Paul is still a really good player though and his game should age well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Lavine is better than all the players in that trade outside of CP3. Plus Houston's pick next year is gonna suck. The return should have been much less than the one for Jimmy though. CP3 only has the option year left while Jimmy has 2 years on his contract. Edited June 28, 2017 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Paul is still a really good player though and his game should age well. I find the move by Houston pretty odd. Paul + Blake + Jordan and a decent player Reddick couldn't come close to beating the Warriors. Houston has what, Paul + Harden + ???? They could re-sign Nene I guess, or try for Melo or George, but that's still not a great roster. Paul gets murdered by Curry when they play. I don't get this move by them.
