    People have brought up the Bulls as a potential trade partner. With Giddey dealing with a hamstring issue and Coby White now out with a calf injury, they’re hovering around .500 and could be forced to reassess things. If we’re talking strictly marginal moves, they have a few players who could actually help. I think Abeer mentioned Dalen Terry, and others have brought up names like Ayo or even Okoro.

    Jerry Reinsdorf is notoriously frugal, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Chicago become a seller by the trade deadline. I also wonder if AK could work something out with Rob involving a third team — especially since Daryl Morey has done business with Rob before. Just throwing out some possible scenarios.

    How much cash do the Lakers have left to include in a trade? They've sent out cash before IIRC. I'm wondering if the could utilize their second round draft pick and include cash to make a trade happen.

    yeah bol bol was a guy who looked like he had the skills and size but didn't make it - just can't create enough space to make room for boards and taking contact?
    Lebron has been playing so long that people forget that it's wasn't Curry who was originally going to be his PG rival - it was Rose. At that time in the NBA pre 3 ball era, a big thing was that Rose and Lebron could attack the rim like running backs and take the hits. I think there is someting to that.

    Even Durant has he really ever lived up to his billing? Durant at his peak was maybe the best pure scorer I've ever seen in like how the hell are you supposed to guard that from a pure physical and size standpoint - a mix between Dirk and Tmac but while he's had great playoff games and won finals MVP, he was never really the main engine of a Finals team let alone a title team.
