[Lowe] The trade I saw on Twitter was Russ & both picks, one w/ light protections I think for DeRozan & Vucevic, I can tell you 100 percent for sure that the Lakers have had internal discussions about that very possibility, if it would ever come up.

Not opposed, but the spacing on that lineup would be awful.
PG (Lonnie, Bev, Dennis, or Reaves) DeRozan Bron AD Vucevic
I suppose you could take Vucevic out in crunch time, but then why trade for both of them?
I hate to say it but that trade doesn’t really move the needle. Derozan can’t playmake like Westbrook and doesn’t really offset that with spacing. Also he always seems to struggle in the playoffs, probably because his game is so midrange based and he doesn’t really have an answer when teams take that away
Vuc is garbage, he can’t defend and he’s not going to close games
Haven’t paid attention to the mavs, but does anyone know if there’s a viable trade there? It seems they’re missing a playmaker (russ/nunn/bev?) and have some 3D wings to ship out.
Won’t be mad at it
But I don’t love it
I’d like it more if we could turn Vooch into Myles Turner
I still don’t hate Bojan + Bey for Beverly + Nunn and 1 pick
Means Lakers could go into the draft yeat able to trade 2023 (on draft night or later) and the other 1st in another deal
I mean with the way Lonnie hitting shots do we really need Derozan?
And Vucevic like having him and ad going to fuck spacing up for Lebron.
I don’t think this the trade for us. We need defensive minded players- we need lockdown defender for the extra ball handlers we got
That trade doesn’t help our shooting nor does it help with spacing
I would be okay going after either Derozan or Vooch, but not both. Neither are good defenders. I’d be more inclined for Derozan if picking between them.
Time stamp?
Can we get Caruso back too?
DeRozan is worth it and playing with LeBron can help him in the playoffs (if they make it) which has been DeRozan’s problem.
Throw in carusgoat and im sold
I’m asking for Caruso and Derozan primarily, and it would be up to the Bulls to decide which players they want to add for salary-matching purposes. Perhaps a three-way trade where Vucevic ends up on some other team.
We need a 3D wing player more than anything else.
Y’all believe everything you read on Twitter lmao
If these guys get Vuc over Turner I’ll be sick
Honestly don’t want this deal that much.
I’d rather trade bev and Nunn to the spurs for Richardson and Poeltl. Costs 1 less pick and gives us more cap for next year
Or trade Russ to the Mavs
Getting Caruso is too much. They could get another pick for him. Unless making that second pick completely unprotected instead of lightly protected is enough to tip the scales.
LeBron/Caruso
Reaves/Dennis
DeMar/Walker
Davis/Brown Jr.
Vucevic/Bryant
And then from there I’d try and repurpose Nunn and Bev into someone else, would a couple 2nd rounders be enough to get an almost washed up Eric Gordon?
Somehow multi team it for Derozan, Caruso and Turner
Caruso was huge in their one win against the Bucks last year and guarded Giannis well for stretches. If we gave up Russ and just got back Caruso, I’d feel so much better about the team. Anything else is gravy.
Bulls fan here
We hate this trade too lmao
Way too one sided in favor of the Lakers
How is vucevic and derozan better for the LAKERS than turner and hield?
Why do the bulls want to do this?
Ummm why would Bulls do this? DeRozan has to be worth more right?
A decent package, not a dream package. Two things are really concerning though: where the spacing will come from and DeRozan constantly choking in big moments. But maybe, as a third option, this problem solves itself.
This is so Lakers that it might actually happen. Yo we heard you need spacing so we got two guys who can’t really space but are good at other stuff. Not that this wouldn’t raise our ceiling but I think we would have some issues in the paint to put it lightly.
So they talked about a fake trade that bill Simmons recommended come on now idk how these people get paid to make up shit and run with it all over tv lmao
Bulls will never trade for Russ I can guarantee it. (Following the Bulls since the Caruso signing) Fans probably want to trade Zach rn since he’s playing like shit for AD. If you want Caruso you’ll have to include an AR-15 for him.
Bulls sun very much against this lol honeslyy I think it’s fine for both sides
Can someone go into how this trade wouldn’t help our shooting?
In many of the trade scenarios I’ve seen, it’s been readily apparent…but Derozan is one of the more efficient shooters in the league.
Sure he isn’t a 3 point shooter, but he’s always been efficient.
So I don’t get the sentiment about not liking adding him to the team.
Bulls fan, I come in peace. If AKME ever go for this, we’re putting up a billboard across from the UC saying “Fire AKME”. We did it to GarPax.
Not a fan at all. We need shooting, not another playmaker.
Gotta love that ‘I saw this on twitter’ is news
You can’t tell me that’s not better than the no longer available Pacer trade.
Vuc is terrible now. Would rather take jones and Drummond. Super cheap and gives us a wing defender and center that can rebound 10 minutes a night
