    I don’t see why the bulls would do this. Last trade deadline there were rumors that Zach could go to NYK for 3 FRP + some young guys. Seems like his value should be similar to that right now

    > However, it’s unclear if all the tradeable pieces from the Sixers draft chest will be enough value to acquire both players.

    GTFO with that nonsense. It’s pretty damn clear to me that they don’t have the draft assets, especially since the Bulls would have to take back a bunch of salary to make the deal work. If the Bulls are going to completely tank on the season and reset they should be doing it for young players + tons of draft picks, not a bunch of middling players like Nic Batum.

    The only way I see that deal working is if they give back Maxey.

    Need about 5 FRPs and 2 swaps, with Tobias and filler to make this happen?

    These will likely all be late, un-guaranteed picks.

    Mid-range heavy iso scorers, soft rebounders aren’t Morey’s style. I think he’d be more interested in OG, or keeping Reed/Melton/etc. as role-players. Letting Maxey retain his high usage (which seems to be working out for them).

    If this happens, I am not going to another game this season.

    Is it time to start to think of life beyond Zach and DeRozan? I think so. I love these 2 individually, but I think it’s time to make changes, both with players and coaches (*clears throat* Billy Donovan).

    Unpopular opinion here but I don’t want us to trade anyone. I’m attached to these guys and I want to keep the crew together, win or lose.

    I’d prefer a team like NY or Cha for Zach, he’s the one that will bring a decent haul of picks and I’d prefer those picks to come from a team that’s historically bad so those picks have a better chance to turn out to be top 10 picks. Demar we should trade to a true contender, 76ers, one of the Cali teams or the heat.

    I bet this happens. 76ers window is closing and need a third and Zach is perfect. Throw in Deebos expiring bc to give him a ring chance and why not. Clean house. Do some 3rd team magic to get better picks. I like watching the 2nd teams hustle anyway. And last gasp to see if this improves pwills funk (doubtful). I think he wants to leave ala Lauri. It’s the only explanation

    yet another year of the Bulls getting offered Chicken Scraps for our best players lol

    It ain’t working now, it ain’t working then.

    Clear indication that whoever wrote this is clueless
