Thought on this from Brooklyn’s perspective. Bulls fans haven’t been as negative to the idea as I thought they’d be. For those saying to keep Simmons and either trade his expiring next year or let him walk. What would you expect to get from a trade next year and/or which free agent(s) would you be targeting in 25? (Reminder we have 3 2027 frps)

Bulls fans aren’t the GM.
This is moronic. Why would the Nets take on that contract for a guy who is practically impossible to build around. The Simmons contract is off the books in a year and a half, we have insane future draft capital, and Marks is looking to avoid the repeater tax which Lavine’s contract would out them right back into. Of course Bulls fans love this. They just want to offload Lavine at any cost.
Why lock into multiple years on Lavine on a huge contract when Cam Thomas does almost the same thing but cheaper?
I like Zach LaVine and think he’s been quiet quitting with the Bulls but his contract just isn’t worth it given the concerns with his knee health
I much rather value Ben Simmons expiring contract than the prospect of the Nets having to pay the rest of that contract while having to re-sign Claxton
Getting off of LaVine would also not be very easy. Even at his best, his league wide reputation was hit or miss
I’m sorry, but this is the dumbest thing is seen in years. Delete your account. Makes no sense for the bulls
Chicago says no
Zach’s contract is an anchor weight, moreso than the remains of Ben Simmons
If the nets could get off Simmons you have to consider it but why the hell would Chicago do this?
Nets absolutely shouldn’t attach a pick to Simmons to trade him. But to trade him, they’ll have to attach a pick. If Ben doesn’t get healthy and work out for the next year and a half, the Nets best bet is to just let him expire in my opinion
I’m not using our last big contract on Zach Lavine. Would love it to be Trae eventually and if it’s Donovan Mitchell it’s Donovan Mitchell. But I’m not getting Lavine unless we’re looking to trade him to get a real star
No thanks.
No thank you.
The Nets need a Point Guard, not a SG who will clog the cap.
CT should be pg
Bridges needs to get mad get a t right there b like where the f*** is my foul
We don’t have any use for lavine
I say hold and hope he’s healthy for the playoffs
