Bulls/Magic


Vujevic + Aminu to the Bulls for Otto Porter Wendell Carter + 2 first round picks.

This is a nice trade for both teams. Wendell Carter can still become a very good player and they can flip Porter for more picks and the bulls just become a problem for us. :-(

I didn't want him...but this is the cost?!

We should snap on that man. The reward of seeing Boston suffer more is worth that alone.

Cavaliers trade JaVale McGee to Nuggets

The Cavaliers are trading JaVale McGee to the Denver Nuggets for third-year center Isaiah Hartenstein and two future protected second-round picks, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Trading for McGee gives the Nuggets some rim protection on defense, as he's averaging 1.2 blocks a game. Denver ranks 11th in the league in points allowed in the paint (48.8), and adding McGee could potentially help with that. In 33 games with Cleveland, McGee averaged eight points and 5.2 rebounds while coming off the bench for the Cavaliers. McGee wasn't getting a ton of consistent minutes with Cleveland, and being traded to Denver allows him to once again join a contending team.

Pistons trade Delon Wright to Kings for Cory Joseph, draft picks

To kick things off leading into the trade deadline, Detroit worked out a deal to send Wright to Sacramento in exchange for Joseph and two second round picks, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. This move was primarily made for financial reasons for the Pistons, as Wright is owed $8.5 million next season, while Joseph is only guaranteed $2.4 million of the $12.6 million he's expected to make next year. After trading away Derrick Rose and buying out Blake Griffin, the Pistons are fully focused on their younger players, and shipping off Wright, who they traded for prior to the start of this season, allows the younger guards on the team to get more opportunity. 

Clippers trade Mfiondu Kabengele, cash to Kings

L.A. traded Kabengele, who was the 27th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, to the Kings for a heavily protected second-round pick, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Clippers don't get much in this trade, but for Kabengele, he'll likely get more playing opportunity in Sacramento for a team that is far outside the playoff picture this season. It gives the Kings a young player for a low price, one who could potentially play himself into the rotation.

I didn’t catch the two other picks when Shams tweeted. Much better package. Would be clutch for Magic if they ended up with two top 5 picks

I thought about this but who would you take out the rotation, is he that much better than Burks and Bullock.

Shit take Toppin out and slide Bullock to PF. I just want Boston to suffer.

Agree. They used to be really good at reloading, with draft picks. This could help them get back there.

Mook got a first round pick and a pick swap.

True! That deal looking better and better by the day

Ah, didn't realize that. Still seems low - if that's what the market's going to yield, maybe I'll give up on my hopes of flipping either Burks or Bullock.

ESPN reported the 2 1st round picks.

martin @ 3/25/2021 11:48 AM
Ah, the trade exception is perhaps what enticed Orlando some?

BRIGGS @ 3/25/2021 11:49 AM
Wowza. Orlando hit the nuclear button

They did but not the protection, that's added info

Got it. My phone is blocking the twitter feed. Clicked the wrong tweet.

Its starting to get busy! Seems like the Bulls are going all in for a playoff push. I think they are in play for Lonzo. If they get Lonzo the bulls will surely match any offer Lonzo gets? Not sure if the Bulls will surely match any offer. Any thoughts?

Will it be a quiet deadline for the knicks? One by one the chess pieces are being taken off the board. Somehow i wont be that bothered by it. It might just be a bummer knowing as early as after the trade deadline the knicks wont have a shot at landing Lonzo in free agency if he goes to the bulls after today.

MaTT4281 @ 3/25/2021 11:55 AM
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but...Bullock is "injured"?
