Give me Caruso and there 2024 pick for Green.@, 2nd rounder and whatever they can get from routing Tate and Landale to third teams.
The Nets are leaking so much. The pressure is on them. There is no viable pathway for contention in Brooklyn with Bridges. I think the Rockets will be able to get Bridges if they want him.
Well, they have a potential star in Cam Thomas, a lock down elite 3 and D in Bridges, and a decent rim protector in Claxton. I think they are 2 players away if Thomas develops. They need a 2 way 4 who can space and a complete player at point. The Suns picks give them some hope of getting someone via trade.
Coby is a better player. No chance they do that. Maybe for Jalen and 2024 Brooklyn pick unprotected. Not sure Coby on defense is what Ime wants. Obviously if Jalen goes on a run longer than a few games his trade value is boosted. I'm not holding my breath....
Harden got them a haul. Martin, and unprotected Toronto pick, and a recent first round pick. If Jalen could get them a 20 point scorer who can shoot, and unprotected 1 from a bad team, and a young player; wouldn't everyone do that?
Youngest player ever to drop 40 3 games in a row. His numbers have dipped a little this year with the higher usage. It's something he's going to have to work through. All the efficiency stats favor Thomas over Green. All the counting stats favor Green, he has played more. It's a fair comp but most people outside of Houston probably take Thomas as he's shown nba level efficiency whereas Green is trying to shoot his way out of the league in long stretches.
I do the trade if we got back Caruso and an unprotected 2025 1st. While Caruso fits us well now, Green still has the potential to be the new face of the Bulls and replace their aging stars. Green and White would be a pretty dynamic and young backcourt.
Maybe. He's already having a much better rookie season than Jalen did at the same age--although granted he is in a much better/easier situation than Jalen was. I doubt he will be a superstar due to some of his limitations, but I think he could become an all-star. AD would be a nice fit right now, probably get us to 4th/5th seed next season if he stays healthy. But he's already 30 and has been pretty injury-prone and doesn't show up consistently in the playoffs. Odds of winning a chip with him before he's washed are very slim, so I'm not sure it's worth giving up a ton of assets
X’s and O’s Davis would fit great. AD+Alpy are good enough jumpshooters to maintain spacing. On defense, Davis gives you real rim protection. Jabari & Davis would be one of the best defensive tandems in basketball. The biggest con for an Anthony Davis addition would be his locker room fit with Dillon Brooks and co.. Udoka could hopefully whip him into shape, he would have to give the stamp of approval he denied Harden. I’ll never forget Davis wearing the “That’s All, Folks!” shirt in New Orleans. AD has personality problems.
Ya of course he would be awesome on defense, but he can’t shoot at all and neither can sengun. If you add Brooks that’s 3 players who can be completely ignored outside of the rim basically (i know brooks has been shooting better then usual but he’s still one of the worst offensive players in basketball).
