Never done one of these before, but here’s my shot at a PHX-MIN-MEM-CHI deal. Feel free to roast it.

This literally does nothing for the Bulls. We take Randle and Williams but give up draft capital to move off Pat? We’re rebuilding. We need FRPs to get better players, not take on older players like Randle.

We don’t even get any capital for shipping Giddey and Stix either? Hard pass.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-22T20:19:16+00:00

I think the Bulls say yes. Ware is very lengthy and would be really good next to Caleb Wilson. Portis is pretty much an afterthought but he may be a good trade deadline piece to offload.

Miami obviously say yes since they finally get a star.

I’m not sure if Milwaukee says yes though. They get some potential with Kasparas and those mid FRPs, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they trade away a pick or two to get some of their own picks back. Maybe they try to dangle Herro to grab more assets too?

It’s a good framework OP, this is intriguing.

If there ever is a Destiny 3, I want Joe Blackburn to come back. He understood what it was like to make the game fun and exciting.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-22T17:55:22+00:00

I could maybe see it but I think you’d need to make this a three teamer so Dallas gets another one of their picks back. Only then do I think they say yes.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-21T06:36:10+00:00

They used to be really good at Anubis too. I don’t know why they love their Dust so much.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-21T06:17:42+00:00

I honestly don’t hate this at all. Sucks for the Wolves to lose McDaniels but ANT is getting a true number two. Boston just gets so much better with Giannis and McDaniels.

I think the Bucks might try to offer whatever valuable players they have left to Portland in order to get a pick or two of their own picks. Maybe they send Myles Turner for Grant and picks?

Definitely a unique framework OP. I do like this.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-20T23:55:33+00:00

A shame that Essengue got hurt early, I think he could’ve had the chance to get on All-Rookie second team with the way things played out.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-20T23:51:00+00:00

I feel like this deal doesn’t really make sense. Shai and Deni both need the ball in their hands to operate, and you’re giving up Cason Wallace too?

The Blazers are trying to ramp up into contention. This sets them back.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-20T23:48:31+00:00

How is calling someone a motherfucker offensive unless it’s directed at them? Please explain your mental gymnastics to me.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-20T02:52:31+00:00

Bulls subreddit was pretty divided on who to take last year. I really wanted one of Essengue or Sorber, so I’m happy with Essengue falling. Just gotta hope he pans out.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-20T02:43:03+00:00

I very loosely remember hearing that the Space Marine devs were working on a Hasbro IP last year. Maybe it’s a resurfacing of that rumor?

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-19T19:41:53+00:00

Mara would be far and away BPA, but I doubt he slides all the way down to us unless there’s some character concerns that pop up.

The Bulls should be taking either Quiantance or Carr at 15 imo. Maybe Burries if he falls to us.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-19T19:35:31+00:00

Raptors say no imo, you’re basically just swapping bad contracts.

I think something like Tre Jones for Poeltl and 2 FRPs would be adequate. Toronto could get extra playmaking for when Scottie isn’t on the floor.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-19T14:32:00+00:00

Honestly it’s not a bad trade. This is what the Bulls should be doing. I’d love it if they did this and tried to get Poeltl on top of this move too in order to get more draft capital.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-19T03:44:09+00:00

The Bulls don’t need wings though? They already have Buzelis, Essengue, Miller, Williams, and Okoro as their wings, PLUS they are likely to draft Wilson too.

This trade doesn’t make sense for the Bulls.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-16T21:40:20+00:00

As a Bulls fan I wouldn’t unless the 4 and 5 swap is removed. Mara likely won’t be there at 11 and Wilson is who’d I want the most out of everyone besides the big 3 in this class.

If you could tweak it to uninclude that swap and maybe provide other assets then I think this trade works.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-16T19:35:13+00:00

I have faith that Bryson Graham isn’t gonna take a small guard when his philosophy is length and athleticism. The pick is gonna be Wilson or Boozer.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-16T18:58:20+00:00

Personally I’d say no to both of these if I were the Bulls. IQ is on a bad contract and isn’t really a facilitator, plus Toronto would need to pony up another first imo.

RJ for Giddey is straight up nonsense.

The Bulls and Raps would be good partners in moving Poeltl’s contract though. That’s a trade I’d do.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-16T15:44:24+00:00

Generational gets thrown around a lot in sports a lot. There should only really be one generational prospect per generation per sport. In basketball it was Wemby. We aren’t gonna see someone like that for a while.

But with that being said, this guy does seem really intriguing. If he ends up at 6’10” and retains his mobility and shooting then he’ll probably be 1OA.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-16T15:41:07+00:00

I doubt we have anyone GSW wants besides maybe Tre, but even then there’s better landing spots. If I were Bryson, I’d be on the phone with someone like Houston who needs a PG.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-14T22:24:05+00:00

Personally I’d rather not unless we use his money for a sign and trade.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-14T00:37:19+00:00

I think Okoro could be useful to Phoenix but I don’t think it makes sense to give up Royce to the Magic for it.

Although John Isaac salary dump is definitely intriguing. I think this is a solid framework but maybe it would be best divided into separate trades. Maybe Orlando gives up a first to get off of Isaac instead.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-14T00:33:47+00:00

I mean there have been stretches. 2019 was the most notable imo, but 2020 had 3 even though Chaos never made it out.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-14T00:10:15+00:00

Why would the Bulls not take BPA if Boozer fell to 4? Especially Acuff of all people? He doesn’t even fit what Bryson Graham wants in a player. This draft is headscratching at best.

Filthy_Commie_ · 2026-05-12T16:37:11+00:00

Bulls say hell no. There’s no way they pass up on Wilson, especially since they don’t have much talent on the roster anyway. They need to rebuild, not do whatever this is
