February 9, 20224 yr 2 minutes ago, Quin said: At this rate, if the Kings want to be crazy (likely) and include picks to dump Bagley (as they're desperate to get rid of him) - would you do it? His rebounding is still good and while god knows I haven't watched any Kings basketball, Gentry was praising him for defensive effort this season. His advanced defensive numbers are about as good as you can get on a team like the Kings. Holmes is definitely a better target for this season, but he's on a 4 year deal at age 28 while Bagley expires and if he works out, would probably be dirt cheap to both acquire and re-sign. I'm not saying you do it, but just curious on thoughts. Bagley has been pretty good defensively. I just looked at the Kings' RAPTOR numbers and apparently Barnes has played absolutely no defense this year. His on/off numbers are terrible.

I think if they can somehow get Schroder and Poetl for a combination of White, Brown, and the Portland pick, it'd be a pretty solid trade deadline. Bagley would be a nice throw-in.

February 9, 20224 yr Author I find the nba salaries and cap system endlessly fun with respect to trades now that nearly every franchise has a smart front office.

February 10, 20224 yr Hopefully Vuc is okay - took a shot to the face on that dunk by Oubre. That said - hopefully they can hold onto this big lead and get some rest. Any road win is a good road win and Charlotte isn't bad.
February 10, 20224 yr If the Bulls can't land a big, do you give Millsap a shot? I keep hearing about the buyout market, but when does that start happening?

Millsap might help but I doubt he can play the 4 in Donovan’s scheme. I wouldn’t mind him if bought out though. I’d expect to see more guys get bought after today’s trade deadline and through the Allstar break.
February 10, 20224 yr If the Knicks have everyone on the block, Taj fits nicely into the Theis TPE, and I'd rather him than Millsap.
February 10, 20224 yr Um......why hasn't LaVine signed yet???? I get a weird feeling that he's going to leave the more days that go by without an extension in place. Also, what are they going to do with Vucevic this summer? Re-sign or trade for another big? IIRC he only has one year left. Edited February 10, 20224 yr by Jack Parkman

Cause due to the CBA, they had to agree to it in the offseason. He didn't qualify for the supermax and probably wanted a shot at making All-NBA to get it. It also would have prevented them from building the current team. I think LaVine is a lot happier with DeMar around than not. The Bulls can still offer him a lot more than any team and they're a contender and he's happy here. Everything isn't doom and gloom all the time.

Everything isn't doom and gloom all the time. Yeah, I think it’s clear this isn’t Garpax and Jimmy Butler any more. This front office is actually effective and putting together a roster that is good enough to make some noise in the playoffs, and LaVine isn’t going anywhere unless they think it makes them still better somehow.

IIRC he only has one year left. Like Quin alluded to, the team can build more around Zach if they wait till the off-season. If they sign him now they can't do much of anything in free agency. If they wait, they can sign guys and then go over the cap to resign him.....I don't worry about Zach at all. Bulls will have 13mil in cap space. If they wait to sign Zach, they can use that space and then sign Zach. If they sign him now they will have zero cap space. Vuc is a wait and see guy. Edited February 10, 20224 yr by scs787
February 10, 20224 yr Well, no Bagley reclamation. I know KC said Schroeder talk was overblown, but this removes the Bucks as a suitor.

February 10, 20224 yr 8 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: For some reason I thought he was already bought out weeks ago. That 4 team trade takes out a couple options in Ibaka, Bagley, and probably Holmes now as well. Hopefully that Dragic for Thad trade is a double buyout and Thad gets in the picture for the Bulls. Mike Muscala is an underrated target who could be a fit whose name hasn't been brought up.
February 10, 20224 yr Author Some of these prices...I don't think bulls will have a deal today. Hopefully they can sign Dragic.
