When I brought up this scenario 2-3 weeks ago, my idea was:

Chi gets:
Reaves
Rui
DLo
Hood
2 firsts

LAL gets:
Lavine
Caruso

Caruso is the real get and he would be worth at least two firsts on the market, imo. Lavine's contract is pretty scary. I would tweak it as need be; maybe a pick swap or throw in Max Christie, etc. I think it's pretty fair as is though. Reaves and Rui are legit good and both on reasonable contracts.
And that’s what people are downplaying when bringing up these trade scenarios is how much value Caruso has on his own especially with how cheap his contract is.

Maxey is cooking… I wouldn’t try to disrupt tht with Zach tbh.. yiu bring him in and that’s less shots for Max
Agreed, yeah Maxey is going crazy right now, that group is really gelling together. Something to think about for sure, I wouldn't blame them if they didn't want to disrupt what they have going on right now.

Lavine would cost too much for a dude that does not play defense and does not impact winning.


I think the Lakers should go after Colin Sexton.

He's athletic and the type of guard that puts pressure on the rim. He's limited on defense but so is Lavine.

This is one of the dumbest post in this thread and im barely off the first page

I honestly don’t even know what his Market is going to be right now… many places where he’d be a great fit (Tor, LAL, Memphis) don’t have much to realistically ask for in regards to the pick + young talent combo … then the places that do have those packages (OKC, Houston,Miami) he doesn’t really make sense for …. :francis:


Personally the Knicks with a deal around Quickly the Pacers with a deal around Mathurien or the Magic with a deal around Suggs makes the most sense to me

Who knows what's gonna happen with Oubre, he can absorb his shots.
Our e wasn’t really taking that many shots tho… like 12 a game.. Zach hasn’t taken that low of FGA/PG since his second year in the NBA nearly 8 years ago …tough sell IMO …plus aside from contract dumping Tobias what players do the Sixers have to offer

He’s not garbage at all

But also if he’s your #1 or 1b like he is with the Bulls you’re probably not winning shyt :manny:

There’s a happy medium between those two ends of the spectrum

A team like the Lakers he would be a great fit on
Which is why I named the teams I named. In Philly he's behind Embiid, Maxey & gives them the 3rd scorers they desperately need.

Lakers behind AD & Bron, and gives the Lakers scoring when AD/Bron have their annual missed games during the season. Now 39 year old Bron won't have to score 35+ to give the Lakers a chance when AD misses games.

Nah I think Rui has way higher upside than Reaves.

Rui when aggressive can score at all three levels without depending on anyone to create for him.


I honestly think Ham is holding dude back by not giving him minutes.

Exactly why i would trade him. There'd be even less mins and touches if you had a Lavine/Caruso on the team. I just don't think he'll ever become what he's supposed to be with Ham as his coach.

Didn't even realize he's been on the Bulls that long. 7 years? Man time has flown
