Love has 2 years left on his deal. You don’t give up a good young player just to get out of 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalamania Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 As a Bulls fan getting a possible FRP and a second round pick for Lauri is a win - needed to recoup some of those picks (assuming they lose some with the Lozno tampering), so it's a win. The FO has done great work this off-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wall averaged 20/7 last season, Danuel House is a solid 3&D wing. Wall pairs better with Sexton because he's 6'4" with a 6'9" wingspan and can defend opposing two guards.

11sanchez11 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I think this is pretty good trade all around, especially for Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland got a great rotation piece that actually fits offensively and improves their defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't move them up a tier, but it's still a good trade for them. Although the excessive protections on the 1st are a little constricting for potential future trades.

Yeah I like LNJ, he gives them some more versatility because he can play some small ball 5. Still hilarious that Dame said they needed to make major moves and they ended up losing Melo, Collins, and Kanter while adding Zeller, Nance, and McLemore.

The FO has done great work this off-season. Your GM really did turn a whole lot of nothing into Vuc, Ball, and DeMar. Not sure how well your team will fit together but they definitely showed LaVine that they're in win now mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d never make back the money he’d have to give up to get a buyout. He’s already got his ring. He clearly doesn’t care about basketball anymore so he’ll just DNP and collect checks while modeling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
