LaVine should net a good return, but is paid as a #1 while looking like a guy who is more scorer and 3rd best player on a good team. That’s the problem, no contender is trading their top guys for him, and young guys don’t make enough to match salary. Everyone here laughed at Herro as a trade asset, is LaVine really all that different of a player?
Vuc is good, but still likely doesn’t have much of a market across the league. Grizzlies make sense on paper for this year, but idk what the package would be to make it work.
DeMar is a better player than trade asset. He’s kind of like Vuc in that regard, where a lot of teams would probably love to have them, but aren’t likely to give a ton to get them.
Probably a mix of other teams fans throwing out trash offers, and you overrating what these guys’ value is
Assuming in any Vuc trade we wouldn’t offer Clarke since we’re so thin there or Smart since we just got him, the only real way to make salaries match would be Bulls taking Adams or Kennard and then their pick of Ziaire/Laravia/Roddy.
I would imagine that latter group is not viewed as super high value assets so we would need to throw in picks. Most I could imagine us offering as a final package would be like Adams/Kennard, Ziaire/Laravia/Roddy, a protected first and maybe a swap in the near future.
That’s likely too much for our FO to stomach sending out for a 33 year old in a season where we do not seem to be contenders, and it still feels way short of what I imagine the Bulls would want back.
