Bleacher Report has a saweeet deal lined up for us. Jarace Walker and an unprotected 1st for…



Alex Caruso! We would be so, so lucky. Maybe if we threw in Hali, Ben, and some more unprotected 1sts we could get Derozan or something too.

    bleacher report does not know anything about basketball because this is another horrible trade idea and it makes us worse for the foreseeable future cause caruso is getting up there in age.

    nembhard is better and on a cheaper contract.

    as much as i’d love a young wing to come here i’m not sure anyone who is available is better than Hield and we’re almost certainly not giving up Walker unless it’s a real core piece for now and the future.

    moving Hield/Toppin makes some sense for sure but maybe we re-sign both guys with their birds rights this summer on team friendly deals if they don’t get better offers and with the new CBA rules kicking it it might be a tough market. Maybe Philly throws money at Hield, or Orlando. it’s possible. but i feel like making a deal for the sake of it is bad business when these guys are humans and emotions/behind the scenes is involved and by all accounts both players seem well liked here

    It’s bleacher report, if they didn’t have the quickest notifications for things that happen throughout the sports world I wouldn’t own the app. I am never really opening it tho and definitely not reading their trash articles

  4. Ain’t no way this isn’t satire bruh wtf💀 That almost reads like a shitpost

  5. No. Walker is barely out of his teens and Caruso is already receding like a tsunami is about to hit. Respect to Caruso and his defense but Walker has potential and could play in the league for almost another 15 years. His defense shows promise so I’d rather have a good rookie who isn’t even in their prime yet.

    Also in what world would we trade Hali, Ben, and unprotected 1sts for DeRozan? He’s 34… Hali is 23 and will be a 2x all star with plenty of potential with better stats than DeRozan.

    I wonder if anyone realizes since the Pascal trade the defense has been mediocre, but now the offense is awful. 😂

    Like who makes these up?

    I usually hate posts trashing fake trades, but this really is a comical misunderstanding of value. An UNPROTECTED pick and a promising young player for a really good role player to a team who wouldn’t be contenders this year? That’s a pretty wild misjudgment if values I think.

    They’ll do it so that the bucks can’t get him lol. Would he be that big an upgrade from TJ though?

  9. I like Alex. Trading him for Walker plus picks is crazy.

    I’d do Jarace for Caruso straight up maybe, but throw in an unprotected first and I’m out.

  11. it’s so funny that the only time i ever even see bleacher report mentioned is someone dunking on their horrible takes lol

  12. BracketClass

    I wouldn’t do this deal but it’s pretty clear from these comments that people commenting on Carusos value are basing their opinions more on him being a low ppg role player who is white and has a receding hair line than from actually seeing how much he impacts a game

  13. I like Alex. Trading him for Walker plus picks is crazy.

    This guy is putting in some time on 2K, seeing what trades would work. He’s doing important work, that is definitely worth writing an article about.

  15. I like Caruso, but I don’t like getting rid of Jarace more than I like Caruso.
