Yeah, I wouldn't do Thad for Saric and Smith. Saric is out for the season but still has guaranteed money in 2022-23. You could probably give him away next summer if it comes down to it but the most you could flip him for is maybe a couple second round picks a year from now. Jalen Smith didn't come close to beating out Frank Kaminsky last year and still needs work to even be a decent backup center. It's questionable whether he's even a positive asset right now.
Thad for Saric, Smith and a lottery protected first round pick? Yeah, I'd do that. The Spurs should then probably reroute Smith somewhere else because having four centers (five if Zollins ends up having to play center) doesn't make sense. If they like Smith as a project, then Eubanks would have to go.
Zero surprises there, but that also applies to half the teams in the league tbh.I've been scouring a lot of other fanbases forums in search of rumors and whatnot, and one thing I've noticed is that the whole "our FO sucks, our city sucks, no one wants to play here" thing is pretty ubiquitous
anyone hoping Spurs are trying to get assets for a Simmons trade can let go of that idea right nowno way Pop would allow the Spurs to trade for such a diva
Kendrick Perkins is basically a Klutch mouthpiece who ESPN has signed to amplify Klutch's voice. Ben Simmons is a Klutch client. How the NBA hasn't cracked down on these clowns is beyond me. Maybe when James finally retires will they bring this idiocy under control.

I'd rather the Spurs facilitate a Simmons deal by absorbing a bad contract and picking up more assets.anyone hoping Spurs are trying to get assets for a Simmons trade can let go of that idea right now
For the money, I'd rather take a swing at Bagley.

Chicago wants a first-round pick to facilitate a Lauri Markkanen sign-and-trade, as I reported over the weekend, and naturally prefers to take back no salary … key factors in Markkanen’s struggles to find a better offer than his one-year qualifier. More: marcstein.substack.com

Sign-and-trade via TPE is Dallas' most feasible path to a deal since Chicago would not have to take back any salary. But Markkanen is seeking a richer deal than the Mavs can offer that way and can make $9M just by playing next season out as a Bull and becoming an unrestricted FA. twitter.com/thesteinline/s…

Lol people were really thinking Lauri was going to yield $20 mil this offseason and that the Bulls would match

I really wish Schroeder would have tied up LA's cap with that awful contract.
He'll probably start alongside Smart, with Richardson as the sixth man, but yeah.
Chicago is going to have to give up a FIRST for anyone to take that China Doll - so glad we didn't get this fool as of right now no one is going to come close to paying him what he thinks he is worth..

Looks like Markkanen also ed himself by thinking he was worth more than he is. If the Spurs were a preferred destination, he's not going there and he may take significantly less jack for just one year with no promises. I doubt he ever makes what he thinks he would.
He ain't making no 20 Million man we dodged a bullate in not picking up this fool
That’s not my read at all. Chicago is squeezing the out of him now that cap space has dried up, which will likely force him into taking his QO. This after dude passed up an extension, and probably more reasonable offers from teams with space, including from the Spurs.Chicago is going to have to give up a FIRST for anyone to take that China Doll - so glad we didn't get this fool as of right now no one is going to come close to paying him what he thinks he is worth..
Lauri needs a new agent, or someone to give him a douse of reality.
With derozan deal not being done maybe spurs also waiting for lauri to take his 9 then roll him into the trade with young n drop aminu or something of that ilk...that may still make him bitter that we waited him out n played him along with bulls but yeah realizing u don't get paid to not play d would help him not blame others for his situation

More likely the DePression trade falls through imo.
yeah its possible lets hope he comes around tbh
That’s an interesting idea. Lauri would have to accept the QO if im not mistaken given S&T rules. Chicago gets off a toxic situation, but they’d probably want some of their draft capital back, no?

They don't have to give up anything. While it looks bad. Lauri can just become unemployed until they release the hold if I'm not mistaken. Bulls can just go on with their lives if no one signs lauri
I'd give back a 2nd if we got him at the $9M per year mark if it's 3 years or more.. any more I'd balk
If you trade for a player on a QO, you don’t get their Bird rights.
There’s no ing way he signs 3/$27. He doesn’t want to play ONE year at $9M, and you think he’ll do two more on top?
