BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are trading two-time All-Defensive guard Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for guard Josh Giddey, sources tell ESPN.
Love that for OKC. Chicago really should've went the pick route in a Caruso trade but they seem hellbent on making that play in year after year
just a really great defensive player and glue guy. That OKC team is looking dangerous as hell. Still need another big body at Center but very good looking team.
Baylor Scheierman working out for the Knicks...but he can really ball. I did watch some Creighton last year and knew he could shoot but didn't realize he averaged 9 boards and 4 assists.

I think you can find a really good role player in this draft, people are down on it because of no stars
I’m going to be pretty disappointed if the Knicks don’t end up with him next week. I think they can develop him into a serviceable offensive player, and he’s got all defense potential.
I really like Jamal Shead out of Houston as well. He’d be a nice replacement for Deuce if they ever have to include him as a part of a trade.
Dunn is the kind of high upside swing you want to be taking with the 25th pick in a weak draft.
Has a somewhat stable floor of defensive guru and cutter and if he develops a serviceable shot all of a sudden you have a cost controlled guy right in that 3 & D archetype. OG is about to make 40 mil, having someone in that ilk developing as his backup is only good business.
You don't even have to play him, just hire a private shooting coach and then go hang in the Maldives for 3 years and get a trillion shots up.
How high can we trade up if we package our second rounder

Goga Bitadze, the No. 18 overall pick from 2019 draft, is a player many contending teams are targeting as a backup big option on the veteran’s minimum market.
The Clippers, Heat, Kings, Knicks, Mavericks, Pelicans and Suns are teams expected to show interest in Bitadze.
Bitadze averaged 5.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 blocks in 15.4 minutes per game for the Magic.

YES. Give me Goga.
He's an elite shot blocker and not a complete stiff offensively. I cannot for the life of me figure out why the Magic insisted on playing WCJ over him.
If we traded Mitch for something of value and replaced him with Goga for a fraction of the cost I'd be thrilled.

Yeah I agree I'm actually pretty excited about most of the names that seem to slot in around where the Knicks are picking
but I wouldn't be surprised if this is what happens:
“While getting OG Anunoby for $30 million per season would have been the dream for New York, expect the 26-year-old to sign a five-year, $200 million contract instead.” Link - ( New Window )
Do we still want PG? He seems to just want to be a role player that makes max money. I'm not trading Julius for him. They can have Mitch and Bogie and a couple picks.

Yeah that's a big gulp but you gotta swallow and pay it. We pursued the guy for 2 seasons and we saw the affect he had on winning. Just gotta pray he stays healthy for a championship run at some point.

I would pass on PG. Not a good fit with this culture here.

Bleacher Report's latest 2024 NBA Mock Draft has the Knicks trading Mitchell Robinson and the No. 24 pick to New Orleans for Larry Nance Jr. and the No. 6 pick.
The Knicks are mocked to select UConn's Stephon Castle at No. 6, and Dayton's DaRon Holmes at No. 25.

Paul George could opt in and request a trade to his preferred destination, per
@WindhorstESPN
“[Clippers] have not been willing to meet Paul George’s price. He remains un-signed. You can’t just look at teams with salary cap space. If Paul George changes teams, it’s very likely going to be a situation where he opts into his contract and requests a trade.”
Do we still want PG? He seems to just want to be a role player that makes max money. I'm not trading Julius for him. They can have Mitch and Bogie and a couple picks.
I dont think you can make the deak without Randle
Mitch, Bogie, and Deuce for PG works in the trade machine. That's probably as high as I'd go.
is from yesterday but I actually think Windy makes some good nuanced points about the Knicks and does call the Knicks the best fit out of the Clippers/Sixers/Knicks. And Windy is pretty plugged in. Link - ( New Window )
Heard something similar to the Yahoo report on NYK's Mitchell Robinson. In NYK talks about potential trades, Robinson's name has come up. Don't think NYK is fully committed to moving him but his salary (2 years left on 4-year $60M descending contract) is valuable potential deals

PG might just not have any interest in going to Philly

Unless this is the Sixers posturing to nudge George and the clippers

Why? I'm here 😁
I'm not sure Giddey is better than Mitch + 1sts unless you really think Giddey has a lot more in the tank. He was very bad last year.
Chicago instead decided to continue pushing forward for a playoff push.
Another example of bad asset management from Chicago waiting too long to capitalize.
I wonder if Leon made a play
Quote:
didn't have a shot with Caruso if that's the kind of return the Bulls wanted.
Giddy is a good player - when SGA or Williams were out his stats were very good. He is a good sidekick to Coby white
I'm not sure Giddey is better than Mitch + 1sts unless you really think Giddey has a lot more in the tank. He was very bad last year.
Good. I think he's getting very close to washed territory.
Quote:
Rumor has it their attention is on Jimmy Butler
Good. I think he's getting very close to washed territory.
I'm fine with that... The whole Playoff Jimmy thing is stupid as he's won the same number of championships as Truck Robinson
OKC gets Mitch
Knicks get Caruso
Bulls get Giddey
I've probably come up with dozens of fake stupid trades on BBI and this is the only time one of them has ever come close to actually happening, lol.
Well that's some positive news. Hopefully he's ready at the start of the season and it won't take a month into the seasonto get in shape
They are working on deals for both Jimmy butler and Zach Lavine. How they get both is beyond me, but that is what I’m hearing.

I am guessing Lavine is a oure salary dump
Possible the harden story about telling George not to go to the Sixers was a plant to send a message? I know tin foil hat but still
Quote:
either he is about to sign an extension or another team has George's interest

Yeah just weird since they cant talk to him haha, maybe he found another team?
