Wonder what we are gonna get
Hoping for an unprotected 2025 1st over anything else.
Edit: Kings don’t have one and I doubt the Spurs would give up that ATL one
Turning Demar in anything is a plus. Draft capital or Huerter would be cool
Im gonna be honest i doubt we really get anything if this trade goes through. Likely we just want the third team to take on salary so we don’t get into the tax. The ownership and FO probably see that as a win lol. Mayyyybe we can get huerter or a second rounder
We are not getting any picks. We would have to take back a contract. I guarantee it.
Seems like a rough move for the Kings honestly. Committing 3 years to Demar. I guess they have trouble getting players there. Also they need defense more than offense. Really puzzling move on their part.
With taking almost no salary back Bulls aren’t really getting anything but late 2nds. This is basically just doing Demar a solid.
I think the biggest win for this is if SA is really interested in getting something from the Kings is them just giving us our 2025 pick back. Odds are it won’t convey so they really don’t lose anything in the deal, and the Bulls don’t have to worry about ending up in 11th some how and losing a pick in a deep draft.
The Bulls will probably get a couple seconds which will be nice given we’re actually low in that department
I’m hoping to get Huerter in this deal. I don’t love how AKME drafts and he’s a good enough shooter to always have value.
I’d also LOVE to grab Paul Reed… but that’d take some other moves and for another thread…
What is the advantage to derozan in doing a sign and trade when he can just sign with anyone as a free agent?
Doubt we will get a first but even getting a second and a trade exception is better than nothing considering he isn’t resigning here
