Take the picks out. Is it still delusional? We’re taking on guys that are out for the year and sending back players to assist those teams to compete for a title.
Hopefully Lonzo Ball’s prolonged knee and Bulls falling out of the playoff race; makes a window of opportunity. Gordon, Martin, BKN & MIL both lottery protected. For Lonzo Ball Lonzo fits with Green and Sengun. We have to many developing players already and Tate “injury” is/should heal. If one of the picks makes it into the lottery we get back. The lower FRP are still guaranteed contracts and roster spots.
I know y’all are gonna hate me for this.. I bc love KJ and Tari, but I think we could use a sniper at that spot. Like a guy with length that can defend. Kinda like a Trey Murphy type.
I want more length and defense than him. But do you see what im saying? Idk if we need both KJ and Tari. I’m would like one of those guys to be a sniper
Eason is shooting 39% as a rookie playing amazing defense. Seems like that is what you are looking for.
He is shooting but still not a sniper. I’m talking more of a high volume guy and one that teams are afraid to leave open
Has anyone seen Chris Duarte play ? He was an older guy drafted higher than expected by Indiana and had an OK rookie year ,but has been pushed aside by Halliburton and nembhard . Looking at IND they have a lot of guard depth . Compared to the rockets who have more front court prospects. Maybe they'd flip him for KPJ or we could work a 3-way Value seems about fair .
Porter is very hard to trade. “Poison Pill”. Martin or Garuba is our trade chip for this to happen, IMO.
I think they should go after Georges Niang. Probably not to start, but definitely a sniper. If they could buy low on someone like John Collins, could Jabari start at SF? Most nights, one (if not both) of those guys would have a shorter player guarding them and it could really help on the 3pt percentages.
I’m not paying Collins all that money, that’s my problem with him. The draft is a huge factor too, depending on who we get
If Collins can get back to where he was when he signed the deal, I think his contract is a deal. But names aside, the real question is if a 3pt shooting PF becomes available, can Jabari move to SF?
I think he could play the 3, but I’d rather have a 3 that can put the ball on the floor a lil better. I’m glad you agree on us needing a sharpshooter
To Suns Eric Gordon Kenyon Martin Jr #1 pick from Houston To Bulls Mikal Bridges Jae Crowder Usman Garuba To Rockets Patrick Williams Nikola Vucevic Rockets starting 5: Porter Green Smith Williams Sengun Bench Tate Christopher Matthews Eason Vucevic I think Williams as a guy who plays d, hits 40%+ from 3, and is on a rookie deal has more trade value than Bridges. I think he and Smith would be almost interchangeable. Bridges is a high price for Suns, but turning him and Crowder into Gordon, Martin, and a pick would seem like good value. Martin could run the pick and roll game better and the extra pick could land them help at the deadline. Bulls could have minutes for Garuba and have Bridges replace Williams. Crowder gives them depth... it also unloads Vucevic who had become a negative but has an expiring deal... saves cap space in long run from moving on from him...
