Caruso to Denver

Derozan to Philly

Lavine to Miami

Derozan : Magic, think he would help out Paolo and Franz quite a bit

Lavine : Nets, no team deserves a starting Dinwiddie

Vucevic : Cavs, need some spacing next to Mobley

I put 25 seconds of thinking into this , so it’s probably dumb

Was thinking and gonna tweet exactly what u/BBallHunter did. It’s a little difficult, particularly with LaVine and DeRozan, to envision exactly what the best fit and best situation would be for both team and player. I do think Miami would get the most out of DeMar but then you have to factor in the fact his game and Butler’s game are pretty duplicative.

I think LaVine would be productive in Philly but Maxey+LaVine on paper is a bit of a peculiar fit as neither are true playmakers and are at their best on the ball. I can imagine DeMar being pretty good in Minnesota in a KAT swap but the Bulls would surely be looking at a different option if they do decide to pull the plug on their core.

Not easy to pin down the best fit for either. DeMar I think would fit in Dallas pretty well and LaVine in New Orleans. However, Caruso is a guy who fits anywhere. Coby White is the kind of guy who has a malleable skill set too. Torrey Craig is a guy who many teams would love to pick up. Vooch’s skill set is also pretty malleable but the question with him is how much of an upgrade would he be to the centers already on board when you look up and down at playoff rosters throughout the league.

If there any legit reason for Chicago to not blow it all up?!?

They are in the WORST situation an NBA team can be in. Old, expensive and in no way a threat to do anything important. May fail to even make the playoffs. No young players worth a shit.

Preferably not on my house. Don’t feel like cleaning them up

Vuc is the most “interchangeable”, due to the contract and position. Any team looking to just move/swap a big, that has a player of that type/contract, can return a place-holder. MEM with Big Kiwi out for the year as an example. CHI wouldn’t have a starting big, but if they blow it up and tank to keep the FRP, you’re not worried about the rest of this season.

DeMar, a “win now” team, that has no options to sign/re-sign players outside of Bird rights. Any of those top tier tax/double tax teams are going to be in that situation moving forward. GSW and LAC in particular might “have to” do some things before the TD to get ahead of the new CBA rules that kick in next year.

Zach, a younger team that needs shooting/scoring, and has plenty of room for the contract. Not saying there’s interest with any of these teams, but Zach might fit into a DET/ORL timeline… Still able to stay under the tax for years until youngun’s contracts come up, and by then Zach will be expiring or just about, if it doesn’t work out.
