Seems like Philly is the best fit. They can offload Toby and some of the picks from the Harden trade.

Miami and Golden State are probably the best for him but Philly is the best for us
I actually don’t think him going to Philly is as bad as everyone says. They play at a pace that fits Zach and him & Maxey spacing the floor for Embiid sounds fire. Nick Nurse is a really good coach, he’d figure it out.
No matter where he goes I just want this over asap. I’m ready for the new start.

I also am interested in the Suggs, Isaac, Harris + picks trade with the Magic. Suggs brings the defense & transition playmaking like Lonzo.. just sadly not the 3 point shooting. Then you also get some expiring contracts and Isaac can help with the defensive identity in the meantime if he ever plays.

He’s going to Philly.

Our fan base needs to be ready to see a fairly disappointing return on a Zach trade. I expect something like 1 first and salary filler. I would be stunned if we got anything close to the packages proposed in this article.

Philly is the best listed but knowing AKME they’re going to pawn Zach off for no picks and multiple worse starters to try and stay “competitive.” With it being reported they don’t necessarily want to trade Demar, wouldn’t surprise me if they just buy into even worse players without giving a damn about the future

Dealing with Pat Riley, Darly Morey, and Rob Pelinka seems like it would be annoying. We are not gonna get a good trade package working with those front offices

Generally speaking, why would we want picks back in a trade when AK hasn’t proven an ability to draft anyone good here? Going forward with Vuc and pieces seems like a terrible future

Kinda like the Lakers trade

We aren’t in a rush to trade him we suck anyways. Trade demar first and let the teams bid for lavine while he scores 30 a night on a crap team

I honestly think that Lakers trade would level them up. Zach is a perfect 3rd option next to LeBron and AD. He can run 2-man game with AD a la Vuc. And he’d benefit so much from LeBron taking ball handling duties and throwing him kickouts, lobs, and finding him on cuts and in transition.
On the Bulls side, if they give us Rui and AR and a future pick, I pull the trigger. Maybe try to squeeze 2FRP. If we are gonna keep Deebo, those guys fit better next to him than Zach. LAL may balk at that deal, but I think it would make them way better.
The main Bulls downside is it is a retool rather than rebuild trade. But idt we are getting lotto picks or good rookie contract guys for Zach.

Article includes siakam for Lavine straight I’d like that if we sign him long term

I want picks no later than 2026. Let’s not settle for some 2029 BS

I’d rather have Austin Reeves if trading to LA. DeAngelo Russel is garbage.

He’s a consensus not top 50 player…so you’re right 1 first and cap filler.
We actually have no top 50 players which is statistically unlikely and pretty impressive if you think about it
