Solid young talent on the nuggets that would be ideal as we begin this rebuild.
Also, unrelated to Zach specific, but if we do not get any FRPs for Zach, lonzo, vooch, p will, or Torrey Craig, it will be the worst fire sale I’ve ever seen
The nugs have been one of the most ideal Zach destinations, this is pretty good news
I mean if we get MPJ for Zach straight up, I think that contract gets far easier to move. Less money and fits in more places imo. Everyone could use a tall motherfucker who can shoot.
I want to see Zach flourish next to Jokic so bad. People will see how good he is with a great playmaker.
Is this how we finally get MPJ? I know everyone and their momma, including myself, was eyeing him on draft day
Ya… i doubt this will ever happen… i would love to see it tho, ayo needs to escape chicago too haha
Correct me if I’m wrong but would Zach be the best player Jokic has ever played with outside of playoff Murray? Maybe Millsap his first couple years in Denver but Jokic wasn’t established yet
It just occurred to me that if the Nuggets are willing to give us MPJ, they’ll probably be asking for Patrick Williams back. In which case, we better be getting all their first round picks for the foreseeable future.
This is a potential career ending trade for MPJ. Given the history of injuries from Bulls medical team 😅
Would love watching Zach and Jokic but would hate MPJ on bulls. He’s a worse player but doesn’t help long term nor helps you tank this year or next. This trade would make 0 sense for bulls and would literally them admit they are kicking the can down the road another 2-3 years and trying for play in
This would be perfect for both teams no reason to not make this happen
It would be what, MPJ and Nnaji?
We couldn’t play Lavine with terrorist ball hogging Murray
Unironically great pick up for them, just throw us 2 first rounders and let’s call it a day.
MPJ and Nnaji for Lavine and Craig
Nuggets fan who thinks that Lavine would be better for us if it’s MPJ that’s traded. But haven’t watched much Bulls ball this year. How has he been and what do you think of him next to Jokic?
As both a bulls and nuggets fan, I say this is great for both teams.
Hilariously after years of bitching about not drafting him, I would want the Bulls to fund a trade partner for Michael Porter Jr to get more picks out of this deal.
Nuggets cannot trade Murray and we would rather have Zach and his deal over Murray’s contract.
MPJ and a 1st round pick from Denver sounds good.
Maybe another pick shipping MPJ off to LA or Brooklyn or something.
You know what that actually isn’t a bad landing spot for him lol.
It’s not gonna be a good trade. GM’s in Chicago don’t know how to trade someone and get value. You don’t tell fucking everybody that you want to trade a player.
You tell everybody you don’t want to. You say Zach is a cornerstone of our franchise. We love the excitement of Josh Giddey and Zach together. You say we’re finally healthy and we’re playing the best basketball of the season. Why would we break that up?
You want to trade Vooch? You don’t tell everyone he’s available. You say he’s finally playing like the player we traded for. Why would we trade him now?
They don’t know what they’re doing guys.
They have no first rounders right? So this would just be a swap for MPJ? Who is a more limited offensive player than Lavine, a similar defensive liability and a bigger health risk? Does it make us significantly worse this season or better in future seasons? I don’t think so. It just saves around seven million a year.
I have wanted Lavine gone since before it made sense to trade him, but I don’t see the point of this for the Bulls. Lavine, on the other hand, would probably put up his best stats ever. He is at least as good a shooter as MPJ and is a better cutter and finisher.
Please take him
Why would bulls take MPJ unless they get multiple picks attached? Lavine is better and less injury prone then MPJ
This is bate. The money don’t work unless they give up depth
Only way it works is if MPJ is included – even if it’s a 3rd team he’d have to be included for salary.
I’d be ok with Giddey, White, MPJ, Buzi, anyone at the 5 after trading Vuc
