    Bulls have to trade Mirotic as fast as possible. He is too good for the Bulls

    I bet WAS tries to trade Jason Smith, filler, and a pick for him (or Ian Mahinmi, Smith, and a pick for Lopez and Mirotic)

    WAS needs bench help.

    That seems like such a bad deal for Chicago... doesn't Miortic have some some value? He's been playing well... what's his upside?

    And then @Dougnsalem took the garbage from that and tried to recycle it at his local Fred Meyers for 10 ¢ a pop.

    How do we achieve this and how does Fournier come into the equation?

    Based on the rotation he listed, it would have to be something like this, with who knows how many picks thrown in to quell the laughter from the Orlando front office.

    Maybe we could get a little silly and do a rotation of each team's problem contract.

    I'd do both of those trades. The 2nd one is better IMO.

    We have Collins and Dame and CJ. We need vets around them. Not another rookie who takes at least two years develop.

    yes...because you want a lottery prospect instead of a needle moving trade and a shot at winning and getting guys like Collins some playoff experience...youth is not our weakness about now...we have three players in the G league right now developing...a really young team...we need talent in it's prime more than lottery picks...

    Of course we would--we send out trash and get rotation players in both. But what's your pick-inclusion threshold for these? 2 #1's? 3?

    No more than 2. In the 2nd deal I don't do more than 1.

    I think we should trade Evan Turner for Lebron, or even Paul George if push comes to shove.

    It's not possible to get good players who have been in good/great form this season like Fournier and Harris by sending out our trash. Napier and Vonleh are both free agents in the off-season and nobody knows how much they are going to receive, so even though they are both decent they don't have great value.

    Good news...Thibs loves Evan Turner...thinks he's really underrated....I think he's our version of Doug Christie

    Saying we don't want or need more lottery picks, but vets to surround Lillard, CJ and Collins.......ALL LOTTEY PICKS as the foundation is my favorite thing today.

    I am not going to quibble with how decent a value a team out there would see them as but I want to point out that both Napier and Vonleh are restricted free agents. That is much different then just free agents as you state.
