Quin Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Bulls are apparently willing to trade Deng and REALLY want to move up in the draft to get someone (most likely Barnes). They also want to shed salary. SAM SMITH TRADE HAT TIME. Bulls trade Deng for #5 and Garcia Bulls trade #29 and Charlotte pick for #10 if Lamb is there Get MLE back in this scenario. PG: MLE/Watson or Kirk SG: Hamilton/Lamb SF: Barnes/Butler PF: Boozer/Gibson C : Noah/Asik Trade hat off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Bulls trade #29 and Charlotte pick for #10 if Lamb is there This one is really unnecessary. I assume your saying Jeremy Lamb Uconn and not Doron Lamb KY. There are going to be a bunch of guys at the end of the first round who could be as productive as Lamb, a guy that could really be interesting is Wroten who is a combo guard at 6'6. What really sucks is if the Bulls got the pick based on where they were eliminated (instead of record) theyd be right in line for Royce White or Perry Jones.

Jake Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Why trade Deng to get Harrison Barnes, whose ceiling seems to be that of Luol Deng? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Well Barnes at rookie salary + Garcia is cheaper than Deng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because 2012-2013 is a wasted season, especially with Deng needing wrist surgery. Now is the time to get younger and cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is the time to get younger and cheaper. The sad thing is...because 2012-2013 is a wasted season, it actually kinda makes sense to hold on to Deng, since Deng is likely to miss 1/3 or more of the season too...thus whatever trade value he might have to a team looking to compete next year is similarly diminished.

Not if you can get a similar player who is 7 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can do that sure...but IMO, that pretty much relies on the team taking on Deng making a mistake. If they do that, great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) IMO Barnes will be better than Deng for the rest of his career...

Mullens. Lebron averaged 21-5.5-6 in the league right out of high school and would have gone #1 overall as a high school junior if he were eligible. We're talking about getting Harrison Barnes at #5 in a one-man draft after two years in college. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when he first came into UNC he was being hyped as a Lebron type prospect. Anybody who compared him to LeBron should be shot. The hype he got wasn't any higher than any other #1 player in the country. Luol Deng was the consensus #2 player in the country coming out of high school behind LeBron.

They need to build the team as if he isnt coming back next season, and if he does it is all gravy.

That hype thing was just something i threw out there, not what i based my belief off of -ACC Rookie of the year -Freshman All American -Most points in an Ncaa tourney by a UNC freshman in nearly 35 years -High School Player of the year -2010 and 11 preseason All American thats what my belief is based off of and I said he'll be better than Deng for the rest of his career...I think Deng is only a 15 PPG guy the rest of the way, I can see Barnes being what Deng was a few years ago 17+ ppg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said 8-12 months, so in theory it could be early February, but if he has a setback at some point it could be all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
