Hawks - Get the front court star they want to pair with Trae and Dejonte
Bulls - Get off LaVine contract with minimal long term salary, while getting picks and a potential longer term piece in Gary.
Raptors - If the FO doesn’t believe in the Scottie-Pascal fit but also believes Scottie will be ready to step up sooner rather than later and doesn’t want to rebuild, here’s a trade. We get two immediate contributors that are better shooters than what we’re losing and two rookie-deal players with some upside.
Schroder-LaVine-OG-Scottie-Poeltl
Flynn-Bufkin-Dick-AJ-Hunter-Precious-Koloko
More shooting, which is what people say we need around Scottie. LaVine, OG, AJ, Hunter are all good shooters. Add in Flynn and Dick (hopefully soon) and we have much better spacing.
We also have all our FRPs after this season so we can make a final win-now move if Scottie does take a leap and we’re ready to really compete.
I get most people here are either against trading Pascal or want a full rebuild, but this seems more like a Masai move.
