kg01 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Just now, ATLBob said: Guess I don't at all concede that JJJ has a lower ceiling, but even if their ceilings were similar, JJJ has a much higher floor. His skillset translates right now. He will be a better defensive player than Bamba if both only reach their median projection, he'll be better defensively right away, and he's much more versatile. Basically he's better, and his 3 ball is better. That's where we differ. I think JJJ had a better season because he was in a better system but I think Bamba will be the better pro. I expect JJJ to settle in as a decent big if he doesn't bust altogether. We should just agree to disagree. I don't want to turn into another bizarro odd couple like Supes/KB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it going to go down like this?: We have a deal for Chicago's #7. The deal involves the Hawks' #19 and #30 picks, Dennis Schröder and some bad contracts going back to the Hawks. The Hawks use the newly acquired #7 and works a trade with Memphis for their #4. Memphis gets Parsons off their books, as well as the #7 pick. The Hawks acquire the #4. Hawks' Draft: #3: Mo Bamba (the Hawks' BPA) #4: Luca Doncic. They either keep Luca or work a big deal with another team. Is that it? We are working on a deal in that framework which is coming together. We do not have a deal with them yet but they are closing in. Correct... Dedmon and Dennis to Chicago. Not sure but I would imagine. He didn't speak about Memphis on the call. Ayton isn't on their board. That means Bamba is the best player to them over Bagley, Doncic, Young, JJJ, etc. Correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Travis ever talks about is taking the best available prospect. Everywhere you look, Bamba is slotted at 5 or 6. If what your source says is true, we will take Bamba over Doncic if a trade cannot be made. Two or three spots is nothing if Schlenk, Pierce, and team truly believe Bamba, and not Doncic, is the franchise changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proposed deal with Chicago can't work because of financials and he's being lauded as some master of the off season? Well, lets look at what Supes actually said mixed in with the emotion OMGs. Atlanta gives up Dennis - $15.5 Dedmon - $7.2 19/30 So the base cap number coming in is $22.7 million. The Bulls are $13.9 million over the cap with holds, $9.2 million under the cap if they renounce their free agents. After renouncing their free agents, the Hawks are $19 million under. So as long as the Hawks don't take back $41 million in salary and the Bulls send out at least $14 million in salary, this deal works under the cap. Now we know Asik is a part of any deal. ($11.3 million) The Bulls need to include $2.7 million or more in salary for this deal to work. The player coming back would have to be a PG or Center to make room for Dennis and Dedmon. Available players are Vonleh, Dunn or Felicio at this salary. My bet is Vonleh and the deal works with the CBA. Dennis/Dedmon/19/30 for Asik/Vonleh/#7. This sounds like a sound rumor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 JJJ issue is similar to Doncic and Young. He is extremely high on some teams board. But are in they in the top 10 and are they willing to trade a lot to get him. If Dallas passes on him, Chicago would need to take him. But if they pass, CLE and NY will pass unless someone trades up. I would imagine in the case of JJJ, someone will. Maybe Denver. Probably Denver. For Trae, it's Atlanta or bust. Chicago is Carter Jr outside of trades. Cleveland likes Sexton more. The Knicks hyping Knox and Mikal Bridges. Maybe the Knicks. But teams are saying that Young will be available at 12. He is not the for person to say that since workouts concluded for most prospects.

If everyone wants him, you can get a similar player at 4, 5, 6 but get a future 1st pick to make it all work. If everyone wants it....bidding wars the only winner is the seller.

It is just the Bulls worked really hard to get into the lottery and now they want out. That part does not make a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragitoff Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I take any of Supes reports with a grain of salt honestly, but if Atlanta takes back Felicio and Asik, renounces all FA's, stretch Plumlee we could graze underneath the cap with Parsons, Asik, Felicio and the #4 pick. Depending on who we draft, our depth chart would be heavy on the non-mobile bigs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work that way when you're looking for 'the guy'. If Doncic is the alpha we need, it don't matter how many betas we draft at 5, 6, 10 or wherever we end up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
