I don't think Mirotic is available, so that would kill that trade so it would have to be the 19th Pick + Taj/Jimmy option. If Melo indicates that he's not coming and the Bulls know I wouldn't be mad at that trade for Gay. He only has a year left, we need perimeter scoring. We would then have the 8th Pick and the 16th Pick to get younger and better offensive talent, and since Taj would be gone and hopefully Boozer as well, they could bring over Mirotic as well...
It ain't just his height with me. His defense is lacking and he can score 20 a night, but he'll give up 20 as well. He freezes people out a lot and only passes it if he's forced to. If the Kings could keep him for cheap as a 6th man, I'd be for it, but as a starter, dude is lacking.
Who the hell said the Hawks wanted to trade Schroeder? I swear you might be the most random poster on this site.
Anyone who says IT is basically like Teague needs to be banned. Teague is a much better PG than IT. Thomas lack of size and defense skills with his offensive consistency being average makes him your typical stud 6th man. Jeff is at least a good player in general regardless of what I think of his PG skills. I like IT, he is talented and a fun player to watch but no team can start him at PG in today's NBA without paying a price.
Once again, who the hell said the Hawks want to trade Schroeder? Not would the Kings be interested. The Hawks aren't trading our most talented guard who we are currently developing for our system.
I disagree, I think the Nets would trade Deron for Jennings and Josh Smith and not look twice about it as well.
His back issue could be small or quite large. It depends on his body. He is young but back issues have been kryptonite for bigs in the past so we will see.nikkas read into EVERYTHING on here.
Nobody is talking about Embiid being the next Thabeet because he SUCKS like him.
But anyone who drafts him is taking a bigger chance than normal based on his INJURY SITUATION.
A back injury for a big man is a death sentence in many cases. Especially for a dude who clocked less than 24 mins a game in college, on a lighter schedule than he'll see in the league. Can you honestly picture dude playing close to 30 a night in a 82 game season, bangin in the post against STRONGER, more athletic players and staying healthy?
A lot of teams have two PG's in the NBA today. It's en vogue. Jeff will be traded either this off-season or next. It's best to trade him this year for a lotto pick. Jeff is clearly a much better player than Dennis right now but Dennis potential and his talent is clearly one of the best on the squad. Jeff would solidified the PG position for Sac-Town.
This biggest problem with any trade to Sac is you have to take a contract since they are so over the cap. So you would have to take Williams or Terry contract. Regardless of what i think about Taj or Butler trade value, that might take the Bulls out of any trade for that pick. Honestly, the 19th plus Taj isn't bad value at all. Gets them a decent pick and a decent vet. With that said, Chicago taking a contract would make it impossible to afford Melo so I don't see this happening. I still see Taj being traded for pennies if signing Melo is their goal. Chicago thinks too highly if they think teams want Mike D that badly. Even for cap space as it is precious to many teams this year.
Simple, Stautkas and Ennis can be good PG's but at 15, you have many options. Early or Hood? Harris or Young? We can go so many directions at 15. PG is a position where options are available. Our system is favorable in general. Signing someone like Patty Mills or resigning Mack would be enough to hold us over till Dennis is ready to start.
