Tired of hearing all this. I need to see something happen, ASAP please I’m begging you

Auction him off to the highest bidder on draft night ; unless you get a super juice offer before.

No one is making offers so we are pro actively calling teams to dump him, this deal is probably going to be a major disappointment. I really hope for a big drop in attendance next season.

At this point, let’s take Huerter and call it a day. Zach’s value just keeps decreasing

I’ve said it a million times, Zach has never positively impacted winning in his entire career, even in that small blimp of time when the bulls were winning it was Derozen putting us on his back, the guy is seen a net negative because of this and his huge contract. Zach is only going to be fit for teams that already have 2 top tier guys, are already very good defensively and have a solid ball handler already then you can hide Zach’s flaws and he can have a solid impact on that team. That leaves 2 maybe 3 teams as possibilities and those teams probably need to do some magic to be able to absorb his contract. With that said I still want him out (as well as everyone on this squad that can return draft picks) by any means necessary. I know it’s unpopular in this sub but people need to come to terms with that fact that this team needs to be very bad for the next 2 to 4 years and acquire as many draft picks as possible.

I would say trade him for Ben Simmons straight up, but Brooklyn probably values Ben’s expiring contract so that they can go after someone (or multiple players) better than Lavine in free agency next summer.
I’m honestly lost for ideas. Even contenders willing to give us bad contracts+picks probably want to see Lavine play again before committing to his contract.

we had up until the beginning of the season to flip Lavine, DeMar, Vooch, Drummond and AC and they did nothing. Now DeMar can walk for nothing. Lavine is almost worthless since he’s out injured. And the bulls sabotaged their own hopes for a Vooch trade since we let Drummond walk for nothing and nobody should trade for Vooch when they can get Drummond for like 5m for one year. Any team with 20m to spare might as well go after Hartenstein or even Valanciunas right. Not waste resources on vooch. Oh and AC is an expiring contract now.
Literally could not be any worse. Almost any version of blowing it up over the last 2 years would have been better than where this team is right now.

I repeat: I would trade him for a ham sandwich and a conditional second-round pick

AK is trying so hard to dump him lmao

I mean isn’t he hurt too. Just highlighting he is injury prone. And reminds everyone he is not transitioning gracefully from his younger overpowering athleticism style of play. And not dependable or trustworthy since it seems like he shut his season down with surgery. Which reminds people he is not the sharpest tool in the shed and has super low bball IQ bc overly athletic players never had to learn anything useful about bball when you can jump over the backboard (and doesn’t seem to realize now he can’t). And needs to recognize he is better as a spot up shooter getting open off ball. He is actually decent at that. But zero recognition of this fact and that it would help him retain value as he gets older. And plays zero defense. And has never crashed a board in his life. And doesn’t really even know what a pick and roll is for someone who is supposedly a guard. He is just so frustratingly dumb.
He is a worthless trade asset and this was managed so amazingly bad on both sides no one is giving us shit for him. All that is left is expiring contract dumps for one dimensional doodoo poopy players with big egos no one wants like himself.

I wonder if the Thunder would trade Giddey & Dort for LaVine & Caruso. They have the cap space, and it’d be a huge upgrade for OKC. I’d imagine AK would want a pick or two, which the Thunder have plenty of.

Unpopular opinion but at that point you really should just keep him and increase his value. The team literally has nothing to lose.
Zach was still playing like someone who is committed to playing properly even after the trade request. Work with him on increasing the value and sending him somewhere he wants to go. The team is directionless right now anyways so there’s literally no rush to trade him at his lowest value…
takethelonggwayhome
Glad he tanked his own value with that bs injury and made it more difficult for both sides to move on even when they both want to. Dude is such a waste.

If you’re openly telling the world you have sent 15 offers to others, it means you have zero replying. Kinda comes off as desperate… I really had high hopes for this front office, but shit went south quickly.

Anyone play BasketballGM? The response to a bad trade offer is “What, are you crazy?”
Poor Karnisovas looking like a psychopath trying to trade this trash.
kwintz87
Zach wasn’t seen as a negative asset until this front office tried to send him to THE PISTONS with his response being season ending surgery.
You don’t let shit like that get out to the public. Our front office is a clown show.
BuffaloBrain884
Don’t get too excited.
The Bulls are going to salary dump LaVine so they can resign a 35 year old Demar DeRozan and compete for the 8th seed.
