[Jake Weinbach] The New York Knicks are reportedly focused on acquiring 2x All-Star Zach LaVine from the Bulls. In the framework of a potential deal, Chicago could receive Evan Fournier, Derrick Rose, Quentin Grimes, Obi Toppin, and three first-round picks for LaVine and Goran Dragic.

Quickley in it or not worth tbh
Would NEED those picks to be unprotected
This would be disgusting asset mismanagement by AKME if this is the actual framework.
Those first round picks the Knicks have are protected (Mavs, Wiz, and Pistons).
As a Knicks fan, I can tell you that this report is probably BS. We weren’t even willing to include Grimes for Donovan Mitchell.
Wow all those guys suck lol…minus old d rose
Not gonna happen.
Fuck off those picks aren’t even unprotected. Why are we trying to trade Zach instead of Derozan and Vuc ?
No quickly???
This feels like a a not real rumor. Idk it’s weird no one major is in on it ya know?
If you move Zach, you gotta move DeMar and Vooch too
Jerry’s cheap ass couldn’t wait to get out of that max.
Cheers to another half decade of building and blowing it up.
If you’re gonna do this, no half measures. Trade Demar, Vuc, and Ac.
No
I refuse to believe this is true or we’re actually the most poverty organization in the league
Trade deadline really brings out the worst Bulls fans. This would be a terrible trade for the Bulls.
That doesn’t sound like a good package, you need one pick just to take on Fournier’s contract.
Bro, not even RJ or Robinson? We’d lose Zach for nothing and still keep Vuch, Demar, Caruso? Damn, #fireAKME
Rj has to be the main piece we’re getting back otherwise it’s not worth it
These are terrible picks. Please don’t do this AK.
You cannot trade Zach Lavine for lottery protected picks. He’s a 7th pick who’s made 2 all star games.
This cannot be real. Taking back bad money and role players. Unreal trash trade.
Lol Thibs will hate Zach with a passion after 1 practice.
Y’all been complaining how they not doing nothing so ….
Bunch of busted players and picks are protected no thanks
Seems like a whole bunch of garbage for Zach
We are the cheapest most poverty franchise. This would be a terrible deal if it went down. Jerry really couldn’t handle paying more than half a season of a max contract? The hate I have for the reinsdorfs is unmeasurable
Hard pass
Fuck it pull the trigger, only to bring Drose back home don’t care about the rest
I don’t care how far in the future they are, I want Knicks’s unprotected draft picks. You can always bank on the Knicks screwing up somewhere down the line.
People fetishize future first round picks so much, when most amount to absolutely nothing. I remember when we traded Nico and people were hyped we got a first. That pick ended up being 22nd overall and Chandler Hutchinson.
People think every future first is going to be like when the Celtics got Brown and Tatum with the nets picks. Doesn’t fucking remotely work that way. Most of the time you are lucky to get a role player out of non-lottery picks.
This would be worse than doing nothing
AKME is worse than GarPax
so… we are just giving lavine away for “free” if that goes through.
what kind of a fcked up stupid ass trade is that?
3 protected trash tier level 1st round picks…. fournier who is ass. Grimes who COULD be good enough, toppin who is literally the walmart version of Amare and our beloved D-Rose for Zach and Dragic? lmao. hope thats straight up their imagination cuz IF this has even a tiny amount of truth in it… it feels like AKME went fck the bulls, fck the fans and fck the ownership we are burning it all down.
Jesus no
feels too clickable to be real
I’m hopping on the fire AKME train if they do this
This trade is booty sweat.
